Minnesota House of Representatives

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]

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 November 20, 2003, Holberg and then State Senator Michele Bachmann proposed a constitutional amendment that would ban same-sex marriage.[2][3]

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.[4]
