King studied nursing at the University of Texas at Austin and worked as a nurse for over 35 years.[2]
In 2016, King was one of six candidates in the Republican primary to replace retiring state senator Troy Fraser in Texas Senate District 24.[3] In the March 1, 2016, primary she received 27% of the vote, with Dawn Buckingham receiving 25% of the vote.[4] Because neither candidate received a majority, they advanced to a runoff election in May. After a contentious campaign focusing on the records and geographic profiles of the two candidates,[5] Buckingham won the runoff with over 60% of the vote.[6]
After leaving politics she obtained her master’s degree in social work and Christian ministry at Abilene Christian University.[2]
