Sen. Nicole Mitchell (DFL-Woodbury)
Republicans in the Minnesota Senate brought forward a motion to expel Sen. Nicole Mitchell (DFL-Woodbury).
The vote on Monday, January 27 failed on a procedural vote.
All Democrats voted against taking up the motion to expel Sen. Mitchell.
10-days prior to the vote, a Becker County District Court judge approved a motion by attorneys for Sen. Mitchell to delay her criminal trial until after the legislative session.
Mitchell was arrested in April after allegedly breaking into her stepmother’s house in Detroit Lakes.
According to the criminal complaint, Mitchell told the victim she was trying to retrieve a few items of her late father.
