One year ago, Senator John Hoffman and his family survived the attack that claimed the lives of Melissa and Mark Hortman, and their beloved dog, Gilbert. When he returned to the Senate, Sen. Hoffman reflected on loss, resilience, and our shared responsibility to one another.

Today marks one year since Melissa and Mark Hortman were killed in a horrific act of political violence. Both of them, along with their dog Gilbert, lived lives defined by their service to others. They were the best of us. We miss them every day. May we all work to honor their legacy.

Minnesota's farmers are the backbone of our economy. We are proud to have fought for this important tax credit to help existing farmers and those wishing to start farming. #taxcredit #minnesota #mnleg
