Millions of Minnesotans get to live their lives better because she and Mark chose public service and politics.
That's 48 hours that law enforcement [was] involved in a complex and dangerous manhunt, spent Father's Day away from their families to deliver justice for Melissa and Mark Hortman, and their children, who spent this Father's Day alone.
I'm incredibly grateful to our Minnesota Task Force 1 K-9 Unit for stepping up and traveling to assist our neighbors in this time of tragedy.
