"Melissa Hortman will be remembered as the most consequential speaker in Minnesota history. I get to remember as a close friend, a mentor, and the most talented legislator I ever known. For seven years I have had the privilege of signing her agenda into law. I know millions of Minnesotans get to live their lives better because she and Mark chose public service and politics. More kids in pre-K, fewer in poverty. More schools with the tools and teachers they need, fewer with hungry students. More trees in the ground and clean energy coursing through the grid. Fewer roads and bridges at risk of failure. More people in safe and secure housing, fewer worrying about how to manage caring for their loved ones. That’s the legacy that Mark and Melissa will leave behind for all Minnesotans."

"I know that in these times of this inexplicable, unexplainable tragedy, all of us are searching for some kind of meaning, some kind a lesson that we can learn to help ease our loss. And maybe it is this moment where each of us can examine the way we work together, the way that we talk about each other, the way fight for things we care about, a moment when each of can recommit to engaging in politics and life the way Mark and Melissa did — fiercely, enthusiastically, heartily, but without ever losing sight of our common humanity.”
