Her father is James John McRachubolk who is of Irish descent, and her mother is Carmella Rosalyn McRachubolk (née Soprano) who is of Italian descent.

She started out doing grassroots organizing and talking to the people in the community about their struggles and stuff that would help them out. In June McRachubolk joined and led a picket line at a union protest, and was briefly detained for it. The local news station interviewed her about the protest, which greatly increased her popularity in Midtte with blue collar workers. She also gave a speech in July about the importance of having affordable healthcare in the city, which greatly increased her popularity in Midtte with middle and lower class people. To win her party's primaries, McRachubolk would have to unseat an incumbent of 9 years, or 3 terms. She debated that incumbent at the local rec center on July 28. The Labor Party of Medost (the provincial affiliation of the Labor Worker's Party) had their Midtte City Council primaries on August 17. McRachubolk won her primaries with 45% of the vote, with the second place finisher and incumbent getting 43% and the third place finisher getting 12%.

McRachubolk was sworn in to the Midtte City Council on October 3, 2006. The first bill she introduced and passed was a bill that would make it illegal for police and other law enforcement to detain peaceful protesters who had not committed a crime. She stated that this bill was intended to help out those who were protesting for either worker's rights or social justice. McRachubolk also increased education funding so that every kid could get a good education. McRachubolk easily won re-election in 2009. In 2010 McRachubolk helped cut taxes for the lower and middle class people of Midtte and raised taxes on the corporations and upper class people of Midtte.

In 2017 McRachubolk started an employment program called "GET YO ASS TO WORK" that was meant to decrease unemployment in Midtte and subsequently decrease poverty.
