Early life and educationEdit

Liebling was born and raised in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the daughter of noted photographer Jerome Liebling. After her family moved away from the area, she returned to attend the University of Minnesota, earning a B.A. in Spanish and graduating magna cum laude. She went on to attend the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, receiving an M.S. in Public Health, then went to Boston University School of Law, graduating cum laude with a J.D.

Political careerEdit

Liebling's political career began in 2002, when she first ran for the District 30A seat, finishing second behind former state representative Carla Nelson in a three-way race. She ran again in 2004, defeating Nelson with 50.75% of the vote. She and Andy Welti, a former DFL representative from neighboring District 30B, were part of large DFL gains in the Minnesota House in 2004. The two were the first Democrats to represent the Rochester area, a traditionally Republican stronghold, in many years. She was sworn in on January 4, 2005.

Liebling was re-elected in 2006 with 52.76% of the vote, again defeating Carla Nelson. In the 2008 election, she faced Rochester businessman Jacob Dettinger, defeating him with 61.81% of the vote.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> In the 2010 election, she defeated Charlie O'Connell, garnering 55.15% of the vote to O'Connell's 44.73%.<ref name="electionresults.sos.state.mn.us">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> In 2012, running in a slightly altered district due to redistricting, she defeated Breanna Bly, a Rochester School Board member, 58.8% to 41.0%.<ref name="2012 results">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}Template:Dead link</ref> She again defeated Breanna Bly in the 2014 election, winning 55.2% to 44.7%.<ref name="2014 results">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> In 2016, she defeated political novice Will Waggoner 59.9% to 40.0%.<ref name="2016 results">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> In 2018, she had her largest percentage of votes ever, winning over former Olmsted County Commissioner Paul Wilson 63.2% to 36.6%.<ref name="2018 results">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

She served as an assistant majority leader during the 2007-08 session, but declined to serve again in that position for the 2009-10 biennium. She became the DFL lead on the Health and Human Services (HHS) Reform Committee for the 2011-12 biennium and also served on the Health and Human Service Finance and Judiciary Policy and Finance Committees. When the DFL retook the majority after the 2012 election, she became chair of the Health and Human Services Policy Committee for the 2013-14 biennium. She also served on the Health and Human Services Finance Committee, the Civil Law Committee, and the Taxes Committee.<ref name="committee assignments">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> When the Republicans became the majority after the 2014 election, she was the DFL health care lead on the HHS Finance Committee 2015-2017, also serving on the HHS Reform and the Ways and Means Committees, and the DFL lead on the HHS Reform Committee 2017-2018, also serving on the HHS Finance and Ways and Means Committees. Since the DFL took control of the Minnesota House in 2019, she is chair of the Health and Human Services Finance Division, which controls a third of the state’s budget. She also serves on the HHS Policy Committee and the Judiciary Finance and Civil Law Division (A Finance Division or Division is the Minnesota equivalent of an Appropriations Subcommittee in Congress and the Ways and Means Committee is the equivalent of the Appropriations Committee.) <ref name="committee assignments"/>

Liebling supported Senator Bernie Sanders during the 2016 Democratic presidential primaries, breaking with state party leadership.<ref name="Liebling speaks at Sanders rally">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> She supported Elizabeth Warren in the 2020 primaries while Warren was running.

Candidate for Governor 2018Edit

On April 2, 2017 Liebling announced her candidacy for Governor of Minnesota, since Governor Mark Dayton was not seeking re-election.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> She finished fifth in the Minnesota DFL gubernatorial preference poll in February 2018 with about 6% of the vote statewide <ref name="2018 Precinct Caucus Preference Ballot Results">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> and dropped out of the race the next month.
