MNA Statement on Recent Attacks on Minnesota State Legislators

MNA President Chris Rubesch, RN, released a statement this morning on behalf of the entirety of the Minnesota Nurses Association:

We are shocked and outraged by the targeted shootings that killed Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband and injured Senator John Hoffman and his wife. Nurses have partnered with both dedicated legislators for years to pass meaningful legislation that helps patients and workers and know that both served with unparallelled passion and dedication to their communities. Violence and fear do not belong in our democracy and no public servant should fear for their safety while serving their communities.  Our thoughts are with them and their families.
