The Constituency

H.Res. 519 · Government Operations and Politics

Condemning the attacks on Minnesota lawmakers in Brooklyn Park and Champlin, Minnesota, and calling for unity and the rejection of political violence in Minnesota and across the United States.

Introduced Jun 17, 2025 · Motion to reconsider laid on the table Agreed to without objection.

What does this mean?

Congress is formally speaking out against a June 2025 attack on two Minnesota state lawmakers, in which former Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband were killed and Senator John Hoffman and his wife were seriously hurt. The resolution honors those who were killed or injured and thanks the police officers who responded and caught the suspect. It doesn't create any new laws, spend any money, or change any policy — it's essentially an official statement of grief, respect, and a call for Americans to reject political violence.
