DFL Sen. Kari Dziedzic, former majority leader, dies of cancer at 62
[[link removed]]
One of the architects of the Democratic-Farmer-Labor party’s historic 2023 legislative session, Sen. Kari Dziedzic of Minneapolis, died on Dec. 27 of ovarian cancer. She was 62.
As majority leader, Dziedzic shepherded through the Senate dozens of DFL priorities that had long been stymied by divided government — while working from home, battling cancer, with just a one-seat majority in the chamber.
For 12 years, she represented northeast Minneapolis — where she was born and raised — in the state Senate.
“Her talents as a consequential and thoughtful leader made us all better legislators, and her examples of kindness, humor and selflessness made us all better people,” Senate Majority Leader Erin Murphy, DFL-St. Paul, said in a statement. “She was an uncommon leader and touched us all in a great many ways.”

The 14,124 abortions in Minnesota in 2023 marked the second straight annual increase and reflected the impact of the U.S. Supreme Court decision in June 2022 to overturn Roe v. Wade, which had federally protected abortion access for decades.
More than 1 in 5 abortions in Minnesota in 2023 involved people from other states, the highest rate on record. The number of people coming from North Dakota, Iowa and Nebraska more than doubled after lawmakers in those states imposed restrictions on abortion access.
