Senate Leader McGuire and Minority Leader Jones Condemn Violent Attacks in Minnesota
SACRAMENTO – Senate President pro Tempore Mike McGuire (D-North Coast) and Senate Minority Leader Brian Jones (R-San Diego) issued the following statement condemning the horrific political violence in Minnesota:
“The shocking and tragic assassination and targeted political violence in Minnesota are sickening. Our hearts go out to Speaker Hortman and Senator Hoffman's families, the communities they proudly represent, and all Minnesotans.
The immutable truth is that there is no place for political violence in a democracy – none. No cause, no grievance, no election justifies the use of fear or force against our fellow human beings.
Let us never forget – we’re Americans first and we’re better than this. This nation must choose a different path.”
