Toepel was elected to the seat in 2010, when she handily won a special election triggered by the resignation of Republican Bob Mensch.[3] Mensch had won another special election held for the State Senate seat vacated by Republican Rob Wonderling, who had resigned to take-over as President and CEO of Greater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce.[4]

In December 2019, Toepel announced that she would not seek re-election.[5] She was replaced by Tracy Pennycuick.[6]
