Motivated by the speeches of Luis Carlos Galán, she became the first woman president of the Valledupar city council in 1983, commissioned by liberals and conservatives.

Along with a group which included Ricardo Palmera Pineda, she formed a popular civic movement called Common Cause, which would later join the UP.

1986

In 1986, she was elected councilor for the Patriotic Union (UP), but had to go into exile due to death threats.

All of these other councilors plus a congressional deputy were killed during an extermination effort against the party.

1987

In July 1987, days after the assassination of her political partner José F. Ramírez, a wreath was placed in Daza's front yard, with an invitation to her own funeral.

1988

Her proposals included an expansion of the department's hospital network, as well as a greater allocation for education, economic and equitable management, and women's, gender, and sexual diversity budgets.
