Walz announces that Rep. Melissa Hortman is dead as a result of a "politically motivated assassination"

I am heartbroken and horrified by the tragic loss of Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, who were taken from us in an act of violence. Melissa was a good friend and we started in politics at the same time and were always there for each other. She was a true public servant to the core, dedicating her life to serving Minnesotans with integrity and compassion. Melissa’s legacy will endure, but today we grieve deeply. John’s and my prayers are with their children, their loved ones, and all who are mourning this devastating loss.

This is a stunning act of violence. I’m thankful for all the law enforcement who are responding in real time. My prayers are with the Hortman and Hoffman families. Both legislators are close friends and devoted to their families and public service.

While I’m heartened by the measure of accountability we’ve witnessed today, true justice would be George Floyd alive and with his loved ones. Every one of us deserves to move through our communities safely and know we’ll make it home alive at the end of the day.
