Minnesota State Senator Nicole Mitchell has announced she will resign by August 4 after being convicted of felony burglary and possession of burglary tools for breaking into her estranged stepmother's home.
Mitchell, a Democrat, was a key vote in the narrowly divided Minnesota Senate, and her resignation puts her party's slim majority at risk. The conviction stems from an April 2024 incident where Mitchell was arrested inside her stepmother's house, reportedly searching for her late father's belongings. The special election to fill her seat will determine which party controls the Senate.
The case has sparked intense political debate and calls for her immediate resignation from both parties.
