SAINT PAUL, Minn. – Senator Aric Putnam (DFL- St. Cloud) released the following statement today regarding Senator Nicole Mitchell’s verdict:
“Senator Mitchell repeatedly asked for due process and the opportunity to defend herself in court. She received that through a trial before a jury of her peers, and that jury has now delivered its verdict.
Throughout this process, Senator Mitchell stated that she would resign if found guilty. That moment has arrived. She should follow through on her word and resign.
Minnesotans deserve accountability from their elected officials. It is time to move forward and return our full focus to the work we were elected to do.”
