Here's all you need to know about Melissa and her spouse.
Key Democratic leader
Melissa, born in 1970 in Fridley city of Minnesota, was a prominent Democratic leader, representing District 34B in the Twin Cities metro area. A member of the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party, she served as Speaker of the Minnesota House from 2019 to 2025. Melissa held a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and Philosophy from the Boston University. She completed her Juris Doctor at the University of Minnesota Law School in 1995.

On the same day, Minnesota State Senator John Hoffman and his wife were also attacked by the same assailant, with each shot multiple times, the state's governor Tim Walz said in a statement.
