Her political career began at the local level as a city councilor in Portogruaro, where she was elected twice in a row (in 2004 and 2010) as a candidate on a Centre-left politics civic slate.[2]

In the 2013 general election, she ran for the Chamber of Deputies as the ninth candidate on the PD’s list in the Veneto 1 constituency, finishing as the last candidate to be elected as a deputy. During the 17th Legislature of the Republic, she served on the 8th Committee on the Environment, Territory, and Public Works, the 6th Finance Committee, and a Parliamentary inquiry committee.[3]

In the 2018 general election, she ran again for the Chamber of Deputies on the PD’s list in the Veneto 1 - 01 multi-member district and was re-elected to the Chamber of Deputies.[4]

Following the split in the PD caused by the group of Renzi-aligned lawmakers, Moretto joined Italia Viva in September 2019, the liberal, Centrism party founded by Matteo Renzi.[5]

In the 2024 municipal elections, she ran for mayor of Portogruaro, backed by a coalition of centrist civic lists, and finished in third place.
