(FOX 9) - A special election to fill the seat once held by Rep. Melissa Hortman will go before District 34B voters Tuesday.

Rep. Hortman special election

What we know:

Hortman and her husband, Mark Hortman, were fatally shot on June 14 in what law enforcement has since called a "targeted" shooting of political violence.

At the time of her death, she had served 11 terms in the Minnesota House of Representatives.

She served as the Democratic Speaker of the House in Minnesota for six years, starting in 2019, and giving up the role after the 2024 election resulted in an even partisan split.

Vance Boelter – the man accused of killing the Hortmans, while also seriously injuring John and Yvette Hoffman as part of the attack – has been indicted by a grand jury on eight total charges.
