She held the seat until resigning in 1993 to enter provincial politics. In the 1993 election, she was elected MLA for Lunenburg, defeating the incumbent from Lunenburg Centre, Al Mosher by 273 votes. She served as a backbench member of John Savage's government. She was defeated by Progressive Conservative Michael Baker when she ran for re-election in the 1998 election. She was again nominated as the Liberal candidate in the riding for the 1999 election, but was again defeated by Baker. O'Connor returned to municipal politics in 2000, and served as a town councillor in Mahone Bay for 12 years, before being defeated in 2012.
