Statement from Representative Bryan Lawrence
St. Paul, MN — Representative Bryan Lawrence released the following statement:
"Extremely saddened by the tragic events that have taken place in our state over the past few hours. My heart goes out to the families and loved ones of Speaker-Emeritus Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark. This senseless act of violence has shaken all of us, and we grieve alongside those who knew and loved them.
Please keep Senator John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, in your prayers as they continue to receive care. We are all hoping and praying for their full recovery.
Public service should never come with this kind of risk. In times like these, may we come together as Minnesotans to support one another and stand united in the face of tragedy."
