On Sunday Take House Leaders Lisa Demuth and Melissa Hortman were guests to discuss the upcoming legislative session, which is scheduled to begin tomorrow. LISTEN: https://fluence-media.co/3DOnWD0
FIRST: Based on conversations with multiple members of the GOP House Caucus and staff, Republicans don’t have the votes to refuse to seat Rep. Brad Tabke in the Minnesota House. Last Tuesday, when a Scott County judge issued a ruling saying that there was no reason for a new election DFLers chose not to appear for the first day of session. There could be as many seven Republican House members who would not vote against Tabke being seated if the question was called. This creates a new layer to the power battle dynamics between DFL Leader Melissa Hortman and Republican Leader Lisa Demuth. DFLers have used the perceived threat of Tabke not being seated, as reason to hold out, however Friday’s Minnesota Supreme Court ruling likely means that the special election in 40B will be further delayed denying the DFL an equal seats in the House. Over the weekend, DFL Leader Hortman said that there is a tie in the House 67-67, which seems to imply that DFLer Curtis Johnson could be seated, however the court has ruled that Johnson was ineligible to run based on residency. Either way the showdown in the House will continue dominate suspense at the Capitol this week.
EXPECT: There is buzz that the Republicans in the House this week will update House Rules to change per diem requirements, mileage reimbursement and legislator pay for legislators not in attendance at the Capitol.
MN HOUSE: via KSTP, VERBATIM: “DFL House Leader Jamie Long [held] a joint interview with Republican House Majority Leader-designate Harry Niska on ‘At Issue.’ … Niska says House Democrats could have shown up on the House floor and made the same arguments and still filed a petition…[but] Long says one of the reasons Democrats stayed away is because Republicans have threatened to not allow DFL Rep. Brad Tabke to take office.” READ/WATCH: https://fluence-media.co/40E7huQ
LONG: “Rep. Brad Tabke…has won his election. He has won his recount. He has won the court case. You have now had three days to review the court decision. Will you or will you not allow Rep. Tabke to be seated?”
NISKA: “The only person who is unseating Brad Tabke is Brad Tabke. I’ve been to the House three times — Brad Tabke has not taken his seat. There is a legal process that’s not done. There’s a contest about his election.”
MNLEG: via Pioneer Press, VERBATIM: “A squabble over how the [House] will be led for the next two years is headed for the state Supreme Court. A hearing on whether the GOP can lawfully conduct business as the majority is scheduled for Thursday. … It doesn’t appear House Democrats are ready to return to the Capitol at any point before they get a commitment from Republicans on power-sharing or the special election in 40B is resolved. Doing so before either condition is met would give Republicans a quorum. … Until the Supreme Court rules on the matter of House control, much state business is on hold — [but] major bills, like those forming the budget, [typically] do not develop until later on in the legislative session.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/40DHu67
TABKE: via a House DFL press release, VERBATIM: “[Sunday] morning on WCCO-TV, Esme Murphy asked House Republican Leader Lisa Demuth three times if Republicans will seat Rep. Brad Tabke of Shakopee. … Demuth refused to answer yes or no. On Friday’s edition of TPT Almanac, Eric Eskola asked Demuth the same question, and Demuth would not answer. In [Sunday’s] edition of ‘At Issue’ on KSTP, Rep. Harry Niska was asked if Republicans will seat Tabke and Niska would not answer.” Via WCCO-TV, WATCH: https://fluence-media.co/3Wqi9Kh
MN GOP: The Minnesota Republican Party is seeking signatures and donations to hold recall votes for DFL representatives who are refusing to show up to the Capitol. Via an email to supporters, VERBATIM: “The Republican Party of Minnesota is leading the charge to recall these radical no-show Democrats. But to succeed, we need your help: volunteer in your district to collect the 5,000+ signatures required to hold them accountable; contact your elected officials and demand they show up for work; [and] donate to give us the resources to fight back.”
WALZ: In response to a tweet from Sen. Zach Duckworth (R-57) asking if Gov. Tim Walz plans to “forbid” officials in his administration from attending meetings with the current all-Republican House committees, Rep. Marion Rarick (R-29B) alleged that this is true. RARICK: “I can absolutely confirm that the [Office of Higher Education] Commissioner told me to my face, in my official legislative office, with four other witnesses, that he was under the governor's directive to not show up to the Higher Education Committee meetings.” TWEET: https://fluence-media.co/40CeOuj
TODAY: President-elect Donald Trump will be sworn in for a second term today at the first indoor inauguration in 40 years. Minnesota’s Republican representatives are expected to attend, but DFL Reps. Betty McCollum and Ilhan Omar have announced they will be skipping the event to attend MLK Jr. Day events in their districts. DFL Sen. Amy Klobuchar will speak at the inauguration.
INAUGURATION: via Star Tribune, VERBATIM: “Sen. Amy Klobuchar will take the stage Monday to call to order the inauguration of incoming President Donald Trump. … The Minnesota Democrat chairs the bipartisan Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies, which is tasked with planning inauguration day. She had planned to speak at the event regardless of who won the election. … Klobuchar is the only Democrat who will speak during the ceremony.” KLOBUCHAR: “I am speaking in my role [as] the chair of the committee. I suppose I could have said no, but I think that would have been against all tradition — and these traditions are part of the peaceful transition of power.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/4hljOcm
MORE: via KSTP, VERBATIM: “Sen. Amy Klobuchar and five other lawmakers are planning the big event. … Thousands of law enforcement and National Guard members are helping with security — something Klobuchar says she’s played a role in.” KLOBUCHAR: “One of the things I did as chair of the Rules Committee after Jan. 6 was have a major security review. … I know that our security forces are very prepared regardless of whether this was outdoors or indoors.” READ/WATCH: https://fluence-media.co/3CihmV4
ATTENDEES: The Republican Party of Minnesota told WCCO-TV that “more than 275” Minnesotans will be attending the presidential inauguration today, including Donna Bergstrom, deputy chair for the Minnesota GOP; and Kelly Jahner-Byrne, president of the Minnesota Federation of Republican Women.

Several organizations set up tables inside the Capitol rotunda to connect attendees to volunteer opportunities and other efforts.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/3WtWrVR
MN SENATE: Senate DFL Leader Erin Murphy and Senate GOP Leader Mark Johnson were both on Sunday Take to discuss their goals and expectations in the state Senate for the 2025 session. The Senate is currently operating under a power-sharing agreement due to a temporary 33-33 tie. LISTEN: https://fluence-media.co/42lWBCv
MURPHY: “I think we both are very committed to the institution of the Senate; to our commitment to Minnesotans, wherever they live; to keeping our word with one another; and to find a path forward that is both fair and realistic and can move through the [legislature]. … Trust requires some proof, and we are, I think, advancing both an idea about how we can work together and, with each day, showing some proof that we are capable of doing that.”
JOHNSON: “It’s kind of hard to imagine being at this point given the end of session last year…[but] we could sit and look at the past, and see all the hurt and burned bridges — or we could look forward at the opportunities in front of us. … [Seeing] Republican and Democrat co-chairs of a committee walking down the hall together, discussing their agenda and ideas, it really gives me a lot of hope for the Senate.”
MN DFL: via House Session Daily, VERBATIM: “The House DFL plans to focus on child care, health care and housing during this legislative session. Its 2025 agenda is intended to improve Minnesotans’ lives, Rep. Melissa Hortman (DFL-Brooklyn Park) said during a press conference Friday. … The DFL package includes expanding access to out-of-pocket caps on prescription drugs, including insulin, inhalers and EpiPens; increasing access to mental health care; and addressing hospitals’ reduction of services. … DFL members [also] plan to introduce legislation that would spur construction of starter and affordable homes to rent.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/42kjqGv PRIORITIES: https://fluence-media.co/4hhnj3o
COURTS: via Pioneer Press, VERBATIM: “Two judicial rulings late Friday afternoon further roiled the continuing power struggle in the Minnesota Legislature. … The state Supreme Court ruled [that] DFL Gov. Tim Walz called a special election for a vacant House seat in the Roseville area too early and must choose a later date…granting [Republicans] another month with a one-seat majority. … Meanwhile, a Becker County District Court judge granted a request by state Sen. Nicole Mitchell, DFL-Woodbury, to delay her trial for felony burglary until after the 2025 session ends in May.” The House District 40B special election was previously scheduled for Jan. 28, while Mitchell’s trial was originally on Jan. 27.

SPENDING: via Minnesota Reformer, VERBATIM: “The state of Minnesota is spending more money than it’s bringing in, and if current trends continue, the state will spend down the current balance as soon as 2027. DFL Gov. Tim Walz wants to address the issue mostly by slowing state spending on disability services. … Most of the savings proposed in Walz’s budget would come from slowing the projected growth in services for people with disabilities and the elderly, which is the largest driver of spending increases over the next few years. … It’s also sure to put pressure on providers — who say they already struggle to make ends meet — to find ways to cut costs.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/40IipHq
RESPONSE: via NAMI Minnesota, STATEMENT: “The [governor’s] budget contains no increases for Minnesota’s mental health system. The Mental Health Legislative Network…is very concerned with the lack of investments and reductions at a time when Minnesota is experiencing a mental health crisis. Many people with mental illnesses use CADI Medicaid Waivers. While it was stated that the waiting list would not grow, people cannot find service providers to do the work because the wages are so low. We are concerned with the additional limitations being proposed for waivered services.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/3C4mwUH

IMMIGRATION: via Star Tribune, VERBATIM: “Minnesota communities with ‘sanctuary’ immigration policies face new uncertainty with President Donald Trump returning for a second term. … Minneapolis and St. Paul both have sanctuary-type policies and at least a dozen Minnesota counties have been identified as uncooperative with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. … Attempts during his first term to force cities to help ICE under threat of losing funds were largely unsuccessful because of legal challenges. Local leaders say they comply with all state and federal laws and are unsure what to expect after Trump is inaugurated Monday.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/3PG7zen
GUN CTRL: via WCCO-TV, VERBATIM: “One gun owner heard voices telling her to kill the president. Another mused about shooting up a school. But neither of those crimes happened, thanks in part to Minnesota's new ‘red flag’ law. A WCCO Investigation found that 140 extreme risk protection orders were filed last year [to] temporarily take away someone's guns. … Most were filed by law enforcement for white men. Women accounted for 7%. All public petitions involved a fear of self-harm or harm to others, [and] 44% lasted the maximum of one year. Another 30% lasted the minimum of two weeks. Few were dismissed.” READ/WATCH: https://fluence-media.co/3E22niA
MORE: via Office of the Atty. General, VERBATIM: “Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison announced today that he is appealing to the U.S. Supreme Court a lower court decision in Worth v. Jacobson, which struck down a state law limiting permits for public carrying of handguns to people 21 or over, to the extent it applies to Minnesotans aged 18 to 20. … Ellison is asking the Supreme Court to review this case because of the Eighth Circuit’s failure to meaningfully apply the Supreme Court’s new Rahimi decision to this case.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/3DYyHmi
POT: via MPR News, VERBATIM: “Friday was the last day for the director of Minnesota’s Office of Cannabis Management, Charlene Briner. She was appointed in 2023 as Interim Director, which was supposed to be just a few months long gig, but it stretched into a 20-month-long job. … Briner said part of the struggle to get a permanent director for this office is due to the challenging workload and content. She has heard from other state’s directors that the average tenure of the first director of a cannabis office is 17 months.” BRINER: “I’m tired. I did not plan on staying for a year and a half.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/40CmIUm

MPLS: via Star Tribune, VERBATIM: “The Minneapolis City Council was not able to muster enough votes [last week] to override Mayor Jacob Frey’s veto of its decision to deny raises for some of the city’s highest-paid employees. The override vote was tied at 6-6, three short of the nine required. However, the tax levy has been set, and the money for raises has been reallocated in the council-approved budget — which Frey vetoed but the council overrode — so the vote doesn’t mean the employees now get raises.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/42g7e9W
MPD: via FOX 9, VERBATIM: “Court documents show the Police Officers Federation of Minneapolis (POFM) filed a motion to intervene in the federal consent decree that is meant to reform policing practices in the Minneapolis Police Department. … The motion states that the consent decree would ‘materially impact the working conditions’ of the officers who the POFM represents. The goal of the motion is to ensure the POFM is ‘in a position to be heard,’ according to the attorney who filed it.” READ/WATCH: https://fluence-media.co/4amBEJu
MAYOR: Politico named the Minneapolis mayoral race one of the nation’s “most competitive and intriguing contests” in 2025. VERBATIM: “These are perilous times for the chief executives of big blue cities…and the imminent return of Donald Trump to the White House — and the antagonism he’s displayed toward the liberal policies of the country’s biggest cities — is creating additional political peril for mayors. … Incumbent Mayor Jacob Frey is running for a third term. Four years ago, he won by a double-digit margin. … But Frey remains a divisive figure and is facing at least three formidable challengers: Minneapolis City Council Member Emily Koski, state Sen. Omar Fateh and the Rev. DeWayne Davis.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/3C69W7o

I-94: via Pioneer Press, VERBATIM: “Over the objection of community and environmental advocates, state transportation leaders behind what could be a sweeping effort to redesign [Interstate 94] are recommending not filling in the trench of the highway and reconnecting it to the street grid at grade level. They note the likely increase in cost, crashes and traffic spilling onto local roads. Unless something changes in the next few months, 10 previously floated concepts for a redesigned I-94 will be whittled to four as Minnesota Department of Transportation engineers and design consultants work toward a general concept by spring.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/4jlkhNs

DULUTH: via Duluth News Tribune, VERBATIM: “For many [Duluth] residents, hopes of local police reform have turned to disappointment in recent years. … Duluth [has conducted] a comprehensive racial bias audit of local law enforcement at a cost of $273,465. While the 90-page report that resulted from the study offered several suggestions for ongoing improvement and reform, the document mostly appears to have gathered dust since its completion in 2023, according to Blair Powless, one of the many advocates involved in the initiative. Powless said Mayor Emily Larson, who preceded Roger Reinert as mayor, seemed genuinely interested in exploring possible police reforms.

TRUMP: Axios’ Torey Van Oot noted on social media that Gov.
