Minnesota Sen. Mitchell (DFL) insists she won't resign as demands for answers about arrest grow
Sen. Nicole Mitchell steered clear of the Capitol again Thursday as colleagues wrestled with how to deal with the Democratic lawmaker’s legal troubles.
Mitchell issued a new statement saying a criminal complaint she faces in an alleged home invasion is incomplete, and she insisted she would not resign.
“I am confident that a much different picture will emerge when all of the facts are known,” Mitchell said in a statement issued through her attorney. “I am as committed to my constituents today as the day I was elected, including important work for veterans and children, and I do not intend to resign."
Democratic Gov. Tim Walz offered his initial comments on her status as a lawmaker, saying he’s reserving judgment pending additional information due soon. Senate Republicans exerted more pressure for a swift ethics investigation, using procedural motions to demonstrate how a 33-33 Senate would go if GOP requests weren’t met.
