News Release
House Speaker responds to Walz special session announcement
ST. PAUL – House Speaker Lisa Demuth, R-Cold Spring, released the following statement after the governor announced he would call a special session even though he had not reached out to legislative leaders about it.
“As disappointing as it is that the governor is doing this in such an overtly political way, House Republicans stand ready to protect students and schools. I hope we can have a real conversation about all aspects of safety - including things like the school security funding that was denied by the DFL trifecta in 2023 and more funding for desperately needed mental health resources - instead of vague demands for policies that have not stopped gun violence in other states.”
