Honoring the lives of Minnesota State House Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman.

This is a ceremonial resolution (HRES 1054), not a policy bill. It honors the lives of Melissa Hortman (former Minnesota House Speaker Emerita) and her husband Mark Hortman, who were both killed in a shooting. The resolution recognizes Melissa Hortman’s service as Minnesota’s longest-serving female House Speaker and her legislative work on issues like gun violence prevention, reproductive health, and renewable energy. It also commemorates Mark Hortman’s community service and their family, including their dog Gilbert. The resolution has no policy impact - it is solely a tribute.
