Politics (2000-present)
Upon leaving the Governor's office, Hollister was appointed to the Ohio House of Representatives, representing the 93rd district, in 1999. She ran for and was elected to the seat in 2000 and 2002. In her final run for office to date, Hollister was defeated by Jennifer Garrison in 2004.
A key issue in the campaign was Hollister's opposition to a constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage. Ironically, Garrison - the Democrat - ran to the ideological right of Hollister on the same-sex marriage ban which passed during the same 2004 election 61.71% to 38.29%.
