She won a full term in the position in the nonpartisan blanket [[primary]] held on October 12, 2019. In both elections, less than a year apart, she defeated the more [[conservative]] candidate, John Raymond (born c. 1962), the pastor of a non-denominational church and the general manager of a [[Christian]] [[radio]] station, said that DuBuisson may not be conservative enough for the district.<ref name=notp>{{cite web|url=https://www.nola.com/news/politics/elections/article_99a8143e-ec61-11e9-b12c-eb2485c9a97d.html|title=Mary DuBuisson wins Slidell-area 90th House District post|publisher=''The New Orleans Times-Picayune''|date=October 12, 2019|accessdate=November 30, 2019}}</ref>
