She also objected to the Menstrual Health and Hygiene bill that, among various things, proposed the free distribution of menstrual pads. On 17 May 2023, when President Guillermo Lasso dissolved the National Assembly through the decree muerte cruzada, González’s tenure as an assemblywoman ended.
Prior to her presidential campaign announcement in 2023, a special examination showed González was among the assembly members who used private aircraft to travel to various countries considered tax havens, such as the United Arab Emir ates, Luxembourg, Panama, Cape Verde, Belize, Barbados and Trinidad and Tobago. The Comptroller’s Office found her liable for a total of $880,473 for the irregular use of the presidential plane to travel to fiscal paradises.

González was able to register her candidacy at the end of the day.
On 16 June 2023, the National Electoral Council (CNE) denied González’s candidacy because the party had not presented the corresponding documents. The CNE provided a period of 48 hours for González to correct the issue for her to participate in the elections. However, the next day, the Citizen Revolution Movement stated that the missing requirement was being corrected, and on 20 June the registration was accepted.
During her campaign, González had vowed to make former President Rafael Correa a central figure in her administration such as a “principal advisor”.
