Expresses the House’s strong condemnation of the June 14, 2025 violent attacks on Minnesota state legislators, honors the victims and their families, and praises the rapid response of Brooklyn Park and Champlin law enforcement and first responders. It calls on community leaders and all people in the United States to reject political violence and reaffirm commitment to peaceful, civil discourse and democratic norms. The resolution is symbolic and nonbinding: it recognizes those harmed, commends responders, and urges rejection of political violence and support for peaceful civic engagement, without creating new laws, funding, or mandates.
On June 14, 2025, a gunman entered the home of Minnesota State Senator John Hoffman and shot and critically injured him and his wife, Yvette Hoffman.
The gunman then entered the home of Minnesota State House Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and assassinated her and her husband, Mark Hortman.
The gunman had documents that listed dozens of lawmakers targeted for assassination.
Law enforcement officers of Brooklyn Park and Champlin saved additional lives by intervening with bravery and rapid response to the attack.
Speaker Emerita Hortman served her community and the people of Minnesota with deep devotion, compassion, and strength.
Who is affected and how:
Victims and families: The resolution publicly honors and recognizes the people killed and injured and their families, offering formal congressional condemnation and moral support. This may help raise public awareness and provide symbolic acknowledgment of their loss.
State and local law enforcement and first responders: The resolution praises the rapid response of Brooklyn Park and Champlin law enforcement and other first responders, providing public commendation that can support morale and public recognition of their actions.
Local communities and Minnesota residents: The communities directly affected (Brooklyn Park, Champlin, and broader Minnesota communities) receive national attention and validation of their trauma; the language urging rejection of political violence is intended to encourage local civic leaders to promote safety and nonviolent discourse.
Elected officials and public servants: By naming the attacks and condemning political violence, the resolution signals congressional support for the safety of elected officials and can reinforce calls for protective measures and respectful political debate.
General public and civic discourse: The resolution seeks to influence public attitudes by condemning political violence and urging peaceful democratic engagement; its practical effects are rhetorical rather than legal or financial.
