Lisa Demuth (/ˈdeɪməθ/ DAY-məth;[1] born February 10, 1967)[2] is an American politician serving since 2019 in the Minnesota House of Representatives. A member of the Republican Party of Minnesota, Demuth represents District 13A in central Minnesota, which includes the cities of St. Joseph and Cold Spring and parts of Stearns County. She has served since 2023 as leader of the House Republican caucus and from 2023 to 2025 as the minority leader of the House of Representatives.[2]
In 2025, House Republicans voted to elect Demuth Speaker of the House. Her speakership was disputed by Democrats, and the Minnesota Supreme Court ruled that a quorum had not been present, invalidating Demuth's election.[3][4][5]
