Nguyen became more involved in politics while she was a sociology professor at De Anza College. In 2001, Nguyen and other members of the Vietnamese community organised a voter drive that saw nearly 5,000 voters register to vote for the very first time. In the hope that her election would encourage Vietnamese Americans into local politics, she ran for a seat on Franklin-McKinley District Board of Education. She became one of two Vietnamese-American school board members elected to office in the United States after her win. Lan Nguyen, of Garden Grove in Southern California’s Orange County, was the other candidate. Nguyen organized protests to support Bich Cau Thi Trn, a Vietnamese women who was shot to death by a San Jose officer. This brought her to the attention of the Vietnamese American community. Nguyen felt that the incident was being ignored and organized a rally which saw nearly 300 people.
In September 2005 she ran for City Council in a special election to succeed Terry Gregory in District 7. The Vietnamese Americans made up less than 10% in San Jose at that time and turned out in record numbers to support Madison Nguyen & Linda Nguyen in the June primary election. This helped them surpass seven other candidates. Madison Nguyen received 44% and Linda Nguyen (27%), 27% of the primary vote. Madison Nguyen won the run-off with 62% of the votes, beating Linda Nguyen. She will be the first Vietnamese American to sit on San Jose’s City Council.
Nguyen’s support from the Vietnamese American community suffered a sharp reversal in early January 2008, in a controversy over whether an area of a Story Road in her council district with a large percentage of Vietnamese retailers should be named as “Little Saigon” or “Saigon Business District”. Little Saigon is a common name used for various other Vietnamese-American commercial enclaves, particularly known in Orange County, California. Nguyen suggested the name “Saigon Business District” after she heard from different groups in her council district who wanted the word “New” to be included in the name, indicating a new life in America after they left their homeland. She thought Saigon Business District was a good compromise between Little Saigon and New Saigon so she recommended Saigon Business District as the name for the designation. Supporters of the Little Saigon denounced Nguyen as a traitor to the community because she did not support what they deemed as the “majority” of the Vietnamese community supported, which was “Little Saigon.” The City Council voted to name the business district as Saigon Business District.
