St. Paul, MN - Today, House DFL Leader Melissa Hortman announced a bipartisan power-sharing agreement that allowed the Minnesota House to begin conducting business during today’s session. Rep. Cheryl Youakim (DFL-Hopkins) released the following statement:
“This common-sense power sharing agreement is what Democrats and Minnesotans have been asking for all along. We fought for and secured our biggest goal - a power-sharing agreement that ensures Rep. Brad Tabke can serve the term to which he was elected, and prevents Republicans from throwing out an election in the future just because they don’t like the result.
I look forward to continuing working alongside our neighbors in Hopkins, St. Louis Park, and Edina to build a state where we invest in Minnesotans and an economy that works for everyone.”
