In 1987, she ran for a seat on the seven-member board of supervisors in Tredyffrin Township, Chester County. Prior to her election to the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, she was vice chair of the Tredyffrin Township board of supervisors while also being employed as a senior project manager by Environmental Resources Management Inc. She was an advocate for streamlined government who, during her 1992 run for the House, said she would focus "on reducing some of the highest costs to taxpayers, including healthcare and education." According to The Philadelphia Inquirer, she also claimed that sabbaticals were being misused by some teachers for "mere travel," or to "split their time between different school years." Her 1992 campaign received funding from Pennsylvanians for Effective Government and the Women's Campaign Fund, as well as from healthcare interest groups and trial lawyers. Her previous public service efforts included chairing the Eastern Chester County Regional Planning Committee and the Tredyffrin Recycling Committee. She was also Chester County's solid waste coordinator. Rubley was unopposed during her reelection campaigns in 1994 and 2000.
