Public Statement from Minnesota Africans United (MAU) Regarding the Tragic Incident Involving Rep. Melissa Hortman and Sen. John Hoffman
We are devastated by the tragic and senseless act of violence that claimed the life of former Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman, and her husband and left State Senator John Hoffman and his spouse critically injured. Our thoughts and heartfelt condolences go out to the families affected by this unimaginable loss. We are keeping Senator Hoffman and his wife in our prayers and wish them a full and swift recovery.
In response to the inquiries we have received, we want to clarify that approximately three years ago, in August 2022, Mr. Vance Boelter participated in a virtual session webinar. His involvement was facilitated by a third-party. Mr. Boelter was never hired, paid, or contracted by Minnesota Africans United. He has never served in any official (or unofficial) capacity as a representative of our organization. We have had no contact with him since that one-time appearance.
