State Representative Bryan Lawrence (R-Princeton) has issued a statement in response to Governor Walz’s proposed framework for a possible special legislative session.
Lawrence criticized the Governor’s approach, saying, “The Governor is once again asking Minnesotans to accept a deal that doesn’t even exist on paper. That is not good governance. People deserve to see what’s in a bill before their legislators are told to vote on it.”
He emphasized that House Republicans are prepared to address issues such as school safety, mental health, and public safety. However, Lawrence expressed concern about the Governor's focus on gun legislation. “House Republicans are ready to work together on real priorities like school safety, mental health, and public safety. Instead, the Governor is pushing a vague plan centered on banning so-called ‘assault weapons.’ I strongly oppose this approach and will continue to defend the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding Minnesotans,” he said.
