After the end of her term, Hsiao led the Chiayi City Farmers’ Cooperative Association. In 2006, she contested a party primary for a legislative by-election, ending her candidacy to support. She sought the Kuomintang nomination for the mayoralty of Chiayi in 2014, though the party chose to back. Subsequently, Hsiao planned to seek the mayoralty as an independent, but later ended her campaign. She was instead elected speaker of Chiayi City Council, a post once held by her uncle. After winning the municipal election, Hsiao rejoined the Kuomintang. She was named a deputy secretary-general of the party in April 2016. Hsiao withdrew from the party for a second time in February 2018, announcing that she would again run for the Chiayi City mayorship. She was formally expelled from the Kuomintang in September 2018.
