Mary DuBuisson is an American politician who served as a member of the Louisiana House of Representatives from the 90th district. She represented parts of St. Tammany Parish from December 19, 2018, to January 8, 2024.
Career
[edit]DuBuisson served as a legislative assistant in the office of State Representative Greg Cromer.[1] She was elected to the Louisiana House of Representatives in December 2018, succeeding Cromer.[2][3][4] On November 18, 2024, DuBuisson was defeated in a runoff election with Brian Glorioso.[5]
In 2019, DuBuisson voted for a near-total abortion ban in Louisiana.[6] In 2022, she pushed for exceptions in cases of rape and incest in a new abortion ban bill, but her Republican colleagues refused to include those exceptions, leading DuBuisson to vote against the bill.[6] In 2023, DuBuisson sought to allow abortions in cases where pregnancies were not viable, arguing "To force a woman to carry to term with zero chance of survival is heartless and cruel."[6] However, her Republican colleagues in the legislature did not vote in favor of the bill.[6] She lost in the Republican primary in the 2024 elections, as pro-life groups opposed her and Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry endorsed her opponent.[6]
