Political career

Millán began as an advisor to the Vox Parliamentary Group in the XI legislature of the Andalusian Parliament.[5] Much of her work in the party focused on the areas of: employment, equality, advocacy and the presidency.[6]

In the 2022 Elections to the Parliament of Andalusia he ran as number two for the constituency of Cordoba.[7] Based on the representation granted by the results of said autonomic elections to each political formation, the senators appointed by the Parliament of Andalusia were appointed, and VOX was assigned one senator, who was to be Jacobo González-Robatto, but the established criterion of the obligatory quotas of men and women obliges VOX to appoint a woman after knowing who are those elected by both the Popular Party and the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (Spanish: Partido Socialista Obrero Español, PSOE), so that, on July 26, 2022, Pepa Millán, only twenty-seven years old, is elected to represent VOX in the Senate for Andalusia.[8] In the Senate she starred in tough debates with the Government of Pedro Sánchez.[9]

In the general elections of June 2023, she was candidate number five for the Madrid constituency,[10] being elected deputy, and is designated by Vox as its spokesperson in the Lower House during the XV Cortes Generales.[2]
