In 2008, Ratti was elected to the Sparks City Council, and reelected in 2012. She decided not to run for reelection to the Council in 2016 in order to run for the Senate in a special election to replace Senator Debbie Smith, who had died.

During the 2017 legislative session, she was the Chair of Senate Committee on Revenue and Economic Development and Vice-Chair of the Senate Committee on Health and Human Resources. She also sat on the Senate Committees on Natural Resources and Government Affairs.
