Dear AFGE Activist,

We are deeply saddened by the horrific and senseless killing of Minnesota House Speaker Emeritus Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark. We continue to keep Minnesota Senator John Hoffman and his wife Yvette in our prayers as they recover from an assassination attempt this past weekend.

We hold Minnesotans in our hearts as they deal with the aftermath of such heinous political violence and mourn the loss of such a staunch advocate for working families. Labor leaders and workers across the state remember Rep. Hortman as a dear friend of organized labor and a champion of key issues that matter most to working families.

This is an immensely challenging time in our nation and we must stand firm against the infiltration of violence into our political discourse. The survival of our democracy is precious to all of us and we will continue to lead with peace, love and determination.

May those responsible for these reprehensible acts be held accountable and we will continue to hold the Hortman and Hoffman families in our hearts and prayers.

In Solidarity,

Everett Kelley
AFGE National President
