Update:  Thank you for signing the petition to name the MN State Office Building in memory of Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman.  Within the first week, 361 people signed on, showing strong support for this effort.  By the end of July, we would like to reach at least 500 signers before sending the petition to Minnesota legislators and Governor Walz.  

Ask:  Please help spread the word about this petition to any friends, neighbors, or social media connections with your encouragement to sign soon at change.org/honormelissahortman.  Anyone is welcome to sign.

In this time of grief and uncertainty, may standing for a way to keep Melissa’s memory and example alive bring some comfort and civic strength to us all. 

Wishing you what your heart needs to heal,

Jodi Anderson-Wolhaupter
