Lloyd L. Duxbury, Jr. (February 1, 1922 – March 23, 2002) was a Minnesota politician and member of the Minnesota House of Representatives representing the old districts 1 and 1B, which included all or portions of Houston and Winona counties in the southeastern part of the state. He was also House Speaker from 1963–1971 and Minority Leader from 1959–1963.[1]
Duxbury was first elected to the House in 1950 at a time when candidates, representatives and leadership positions were officially non-partisan. He allied with the House's Conservative Caucus, and was known to be a Republican. He was re-elected nine times.[1] When the Conservative Caucus gained a majority in 1963, he became Speaker by one vote over Aubrey Dirlam, and held the position until his retirement from the House in 1971, when he was succeeded by Dirlam.[2]
