Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński University. Cichos run in the
2014 local elections, simultaneously contesting the seat of mayor of
Siemianowice Śląskie, for which she won 2,142 votes (9.67%) and didn't enter the runoff, and a seat to the city council of Siemianowice Śląskie, which she won with 387 votes (6.42%), both with the backing of the
Silesian Autonomy Movement, despite not being a member of the party. Following the election, Cichos' disagreement with and disassociation from the Movement led to it cutting ties and even unsuccessfully demanding Cichos' resignation from her seat.

2018 local elections. She is the author of the book "Moja droga, Moja Polska" ("My way, my Poland"). ==Electoral history==
