Melissa Hortman will be remembered as the most consequential speaker in Minnesota history – and I'll always remember her as a close friend, a mentor, and the most talented legislator I've ever known.
I know that in these times of this inexplicable, unexplainable tragedy, all of us are searching for some kind of meaning, some kind of lesson that we can learn to help ease our loss.
But let's not do it because of the way Mark and Melissa died. Let's do it because of the way they lived, and the way they led.
Maybe it is this moment where each of us can examine the way we work together, the way we talk about each other, the way we fight for things we care about.
