Election campaign
Boyle was motivated to run for office because of her commitment to "tackling the deepening wealth gap [in Vancouver], about ensuring that homes are for housing people rather than profits, and about deepening community engagement to build a better city together". She ran alongside Brandon Yan after winning the OneCity Vancouver candidate nomination in June 2018. Boyle won a seat on Vancouver City Council in October 2018 with 45,529 votes, making her the first elected city councillor from OneCity Vancouver and one of eight women on the ten-member council. She was re-elected to a second term on Vancouver City Council on October 15, 2022.

On April 4, 2024, Boyle was nominated to run in the seat of Vancouver-Little Mountain for the New Democratic Party of British Columbia in the 2024 provincial election.
