Mayor of Morro Bay
After Graduating from the University of California, Kounalakis returned to her home town of Morro Bay. She ran in the 1998 Summer Elections and won in a landslide against Republican candidate Heidi Harmon. As mayor of Morro Bay, Kounalakis promoted the tourism industry, expanded education, decreased taxes on small businesses and implemented repairs to roads. She lost in the 2005 elections to Republican Ling Ling Chang.

US Ambassador to Hungary
President Chuck Baldwin appointed Kounalakis to the position of US ambassador to Hungary to try and negotiate a European entry into the war. Europe did not take the side of the US and stayed neutral throughout World War 3. When the Russians began a landing into North America, Kounalakis' diplomatic mission was terminated and she got recalled home.
