“I had the privilege of serving with Steve throughout my time in the Minnesota House of Representatives. I will remember him as someone who was unafraid to work with his colleagues across the aisle and who stood up to protect the working people of Minnesota. We did not agree on everything, but he brought civility to our debates in the House. He will be missed greatly, and my thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends as they remember his life.”
