She ran as the Liberal candidate in Fredericton South in the 2018 New Brunswick general election, losing to New Brunswick Green Party leader David Coon. As Holt was not a sitting member of the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick, Liberal MLA (Member of the Legislative Assembly) Denis Landry offered in August 2022 to resign his seat so that Holt could run in a by-election. In November 2022, Holt announced that she would accept his offer and run in Landry's riding of Bathurst East-Nepisiguit-Saint-Isidore. Landry then confirmed that he was resigning the seat. On April 24, 2023, Holt won a by-election in Bathurst East-Nepisiguit-Saint-Isidore to win a seat in the Legislative Assembly. On May 9, 2023, she became the official opposition leader in New Brunswick. References
