She joined Umberto Bossi's Northern League and in 1993 she was elected regional councilor of Friuli-Venezia Giulia;[2] in 1994, after a serious political crisis that had hit the region, she was appointed President of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, a position she held until 1995. In this period she has also been President of the Conference of Regions and Autonomous Provinces.

From 15 June 2001 to 23 June 2003, Guerra has been vice president of the Friuli-Venezia Giulia Region and councilor for education and culture.
In view of the regional elections in Friuli-Venezia Giulia in 2003, she was nominated for the presidency of the Region by the House of Freedoms coalition.[3] Guerra lost the competition against former mayor of Trieste Riccardo Illy, endorsed by The Olive Tree.
In April 2008, Guerra left the Northern League to join the Illy's coalition, supported by the Democratic Party and other left-wing political forces. Later, in July 2009, Guerra joined the same Democratic Party, supporting the motion of Pier Luigi Bersani in the leadership election of that year.[4]
