As Holt is not currently 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 can run in a by-election.[4] In November 2022, Holt announced that she will accept his offer and run in Landry's riding of Bathurst East–Nepisiguit–Saint-Isidore. Landry then confirmed that he is resigning the seat.[5]
