What is happening in the Twin Cities and the Great North Star State is heartbreaking to witness. These events have cost lives and shaken families ā and we must call for accountability, transparency, and protections for all people. This moment demands that we reflect honestly on what our values truly are. My thoughts, prayers, and deepest condolences are with the families of RenĆ©e Good and Alex Pretti.
I stand with the people of Minnesota.
