Mary Liz Holberg (born November 13, 1959) is a Minnesota politician and a member of the Minnesota House of Representatives representing District 36A, which encompasses most of the city of Lakeville in Dakota County. A Republican, she was first elected in 1998, and has been re-elected every two years since then. Prior to the 2002 legislative redistricting, she represented the old District 37B.[1]
Holberg serves on the House Civil Justice, Ethics, and Ways & Means committees, and on three Finance subcommittees: the State Government Finance Division, the Transportation and Transit Policy and Oversight Division, and the Transportation Finance and Policy Division. She was an assistant majority leader during the 2001-2002 session. She also chaired the House Civil Law Committee during the 2003-2004 session, and the House Transportation Finance Committee during the 2005-2006 session.[1] On May 21, 2011, she joined the House Republican Majority in voting for a constitutional amendment to define marriage as between a man and woman.[2]
On November 20, 2003, Holberg and then State Senator Michele Bachmann proposed a constitutional amendment that would ban same-sex marriage.[3][4]
