In 1999, Silvia Thalmann-Gut ran for the National Council. From 2001 to 2006 she was President of the CVP City of Zug and from 2007 to 2018 a member of the Zug Cantonal Council . As a cantonal councilor, she campaigned in vain for the cantonal government to be downsized from seven to five seats. The main topics were education as well as economics and finance.

In the run-up to the cantonal government elections in 2018, she said: "I am neither an emanze nor a women's rights activist, but a woman who is ready to take on responsibility." An all-male government would not be good, she said.

She was elected to the government council on October 7, 2018 and has been head of the economics department since taking office at the beginning of 2019. While the ten trunk lines in this directorate have all been in male hands so far, she elected a first woman in March 2019.
