Gov. Lujan Grisham issues statement on assassination of Minnesota Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman

SANTA FE - Today, New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham issued the following statement about the political killings in Minnesota:

The assassination of Minnesota House Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark is an unspeakable tragedy. Political violence has no place in our democracy-period. It shatters lives and communities, and foments even deeper divisions between Americans. Even when we disagree fiercely about politics and policy, we must remember we are Americans first, not enemies. New Mexico stands with Minnesota and offers our deepest condolences to the victims' families, friends and colleagues.
