Pursuant to Article IV, Section 11 of the Minnesota Constitution, we the undersigned members of the Minnesota House of Representatives register our protest and dissent against 67 members of the Minnesota House of Representatives for their illegitimate and unconstitutional behavior that began on January 14th, 2025 and continued through January 23rd, 2025. This behavior came to a halt following the Minnesota Supreme Court ruling that it was contrary to the Minnesota Constitution.

The House Code of Conduct Policy for the Minnesota House of Representatives, pursuant to Rule 9.01, states:

"A State Representative and an officer or employee of the House of Representatives shall:

Respect the principles of representative democracy, by exemplifying good citizenship… and by observing the letter and spirit of the laws…

Promote the health of democracy…

Exercise sound judgement.

Be respectful of the House of Representatives as a fundamental institution of civil government.

Use the power and facilities of the House of Representatives only to advance the common good."

On January 14th, as prescribed in Minnesota Statutes 3.05 and 5.05, Secretary of State Steve Simon called the House of Representatives to order and determined that a quorum was not present. Pursuant to MN Statute 3.06, Sec. Simon adjourned the session at that time. Following that action, 67 members of the Minnesota House of Representatives took it upon themselves to disregard Sec. Simon's actions and attempted to hold a floor session and conduct additional business, including an illegitimate election for Speaker and illegitimate adoption of committee assignments. Thereafter, these same 67 members willfully and willingly participated in additional sham floor sessions and committee meetings, unlawfully using the House Chamber, committee rooms, and staff time and resources, that, by virtue of their illegitimacy, produced no legislative outcomes. These members stated to the press that one reason they took this unconstitutional action was to overturn the election of another duly elected member.

Despite repeated warnings from other members and nonpartisan staff of the House of Representatives, as well as legal counsel from the Office of the Secretary of State, this activity continued for nearly two weeks, with these members even going so far as to deny Sec. Simon access to the House floor to perform his duty as presiding officer of the House. On January 24th, the Minnesota Supreme Court ruled in Simon, v. Demuth, et al for Sec. Simon and against Rep. Demuth, holding that Sec. Simon had correctly determined that a quorum was not present and that all actions undertaken by these members were void. The court also held that Article IV, Section 13 of the Minnesota Constitution required that, under MN Statute 2.021, quorum necessary for business in the Minnesota House is 68 members. It was only then that these actions ceased.

In a nation of laws, disagreements over interpretations are settled through legal process not by force or illegitimate seizure of the instruments of governance. These Representatives unconstitutionally seized power they were not granted by the voters of Minnesota. Having moments before taken an oath to uphold the Constitution of the State of Minnesota, these Representatives then deliberately and repeatedly violated their oaths.

These members were:

Speaker Lisa Demuth Representative Joe McDonald

Representative Harry Niska Representative Shane Mekeland

Representative Keith Allen Representative Patricia Mueller

Representative Pam Altendorf Representative Tom Muphy

Representative Paul Anderson Representative Andrew Myers
