Elected in 2018, House Speaker Lisa Demuth is a long-time resident of Cold Spring in District 13A. She and her husband, Nick, have four children and seven grandchildren.
Speaker Demuth is a small-business owner who is dedicated to serving her community. Before joining the legislature, she was a ROCORI School Board member for 11 years.
Speaker Demuth is currently serving in her fourth term in the House. In 2022, she was elected by her colleagues to serve as the House Minority Leader. In February 2025, she was elected to serve as Speaker of the House. She is the first Black lawmaker and first Republican woman to serve as Speaker.
During the 2025 session, Speaker Demuth worked closely with Speaker-Emerita Melissa Hortman to deliver a bipartisan state budget that delivered the largest reduction in state spending in Minnesota history while ensuring Minnesota remains a great place to live, work, and raise a family. She continued her leadership during the most recent legislative session, delivering strong anti-fraud affordability measures for Minnesotans.
