Dear Neighbors,

One month after being assassinated in their home, I remain heartbroken and horrified by the loss of Melissa and Mark Hortman.

Melissa and Mark Hortman

Melissa was our friend, our leader, and a champion for Minnesotans. Mark was by her side supporting her every step of the way. These two extraordinary people are missed by so many, and I’m so grateful for your sympathy and support over the past month.

We continue to hold Melissa and Mark's children, families, friends, and loved ones in our hearts, and we continue to keep John, Yvette, and Hope Hoffman in our thoughts as they recover and heal.

Political violence has no place in this country. We must resolve our differences peacefully, never through violence.

The attacks on DFL legislators one month ago have shaken us to our core, but they have not shaken our resolve to build a state that works better for everyone.

Whether it's at the State Capitol or in our communities, I will keep serving the people of Plymouth and Medicine Lake and keep working hard to build the future Melissa and Mark Hortman believed in.

*New Laws in Minnesota*

On July 1, our new state budget took effect, along with the majority of the new policies lawmakers enacted this past session. As with all of this year’s successful legislation, these new laws are the product of bipartisan compromise. While there are certainly components of the budget I wish were included, there are still plenty of new commonsense initiatives and investments we delivered, together. 

Highlights include stronger DWI reform and enforcement, extended free Metro Mobility fares, required access to free water at ticketed events of 100 or more people, protections for children who appear in online media, and more. Minnesota Public Radio provided a brief overview of some of these laws and more [ [link removed] ], but if you’d like a deep dive of what’s been implemented, you can read a nonpartisan summary of all the new laws here [ [link removed] ].

*Keep in Touch*

Please continue to contact me anytime to share your thoughts, questions, and input about our work in the Minnesota House; your voice is our democracy in action for a brighter future.

Thank you for the honor to serve our Plymouth and Medicine Lake neighbors in the Minnesota Legislature.

Stay well,

Ginny Klevorn
State Representative
