After obtaining his degree, he worked as the executive assistant to his father when he served as governor from 2016 to 2019. He was sworn in as a board member for the seventh district on March 16, 2023. His successor, Athena Tolentino, chose not to seek a full term as governor and instead retired. Following their withdrawals, Remulla declared his bid for the province's governorship and filed his candidacy on October 8. Fellow Board Member Ram Revilla (not to be confused with the actor of the same name) ran as his running mate and was unopposed in the vice gubernatorial election.

During the campaign, Remulla sought to distinguish himself from his relatives by pursuing a leadership style distinct from past governors from his family. He defended his family's dynastic presence in provincial politics, stating that their constituents are happy with the projects that they have implemented while in power. Addressing the issue of crime, Remulla pledged to develop a centralized 911 mobile app to streamline emergency response. For the Senate election, he endorsed the candidacy of former Senator Francis Pangilinan, which publications deemed was key to a cross-regional coalition that contributed to Pangilinan's eventual victory.

With dynastic ties and facing only token opposition, media outlets regarded Remulla as the favorite to win the gubernatorial election. He was handily elected in the May 12 election, receiving 73.56% of the vote. His victory was proclaimed the following day, and he promptly became governor-elect.
