Kosmas represented the 28th District in the Florida House of Representatives for four consecutive terms, 1996 through 2004, before being term-limited. She was succeeded by Republican Dorothy Hukill.
In 2009, Kosmas joined with the Democratic majority to vote for the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009, the American Clean Energy and Security Act, and the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act.
