Regina Mary Martiny DuBuisson, known as Mary DuBuisson[1] (born August 18, 1954), is a former business owner and civic volunteer from Slidell in suburban New Orleans, Louisiana, who has been since December 2018 a Republican state representative for District 90 in St. Tammany Parish.
DuBuisson was first elected in a runoff contest held on December 8, 2018, to succeed Greg Cromer, who became the mayor of Slidell. DuBuisson is Cromer's former legislative aide. 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.[2]
Raymond cited DuBuisson's support in 2019 for failed amendments to the fetal heartbeat bill to provide exceptions for rape and incest. DuBuisson said she is nevertheless solidly anti-abortion and noted that her conservative record was good enough for the endorsement of the Louisiana Republican Party.[2] DuBuisson said that she will devote her legislation priorities to education, public safety, and flood control.[3]
In the 2019 election, DuBuisson polled 6,552 votes (60 percent) to Raymond's 3,247 (30 percent). The remaining 10 percent went to a Libertarian candidate.[4] In the 2018 contest, she defeated Raymond, 61 to 39 percent in a two-candidate runoff election.[5]
In her campaign biographical sketch, DuBuisson indicates that she is a wife, mother, and grandmother but provides no names.[3]
