McGaugh was County Clerk in Carroll County, Missouri from 1985 to 2018.[2]
In February 2018, McGaugh ran in a special election[1] to replace her son, Joe Don McGaugh, as the District 39 representative in the Missouri House of Representatives.[3] She defeated Democrat Ethan Perkinson with 35.7% of the vote. In November 2018, she won election to a full term, and was reelected to a second full term in 2020.[1] Redistricting in 2022 placed her home in District 7 instead of 39, so she was reelected to a third term there.[4]
