Republican leaders of the Minnesota Legislature are calling on Democrats to drop a proposed state Equal Rights Amendment.
Minnesota Republican House Minority Leader Lisa Demuth speaks at a news conference in the State Capitol building in St. Paul, Minn., on Tuesday, May 14, 2024, alongside Minnesota Republican Senate Minority LeaderMark Johnson.
Johnson, of East Grand Forks, told reporters that bipartisanship will be the most critical piece of any deal they might reach with Democrats who control both chambers of the Legislature, and the leaders indicated there’s room for negotiation. The House and Senate can’t hold any more floor sessions to approve legislation except for those already set for Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. While Monday is the scheduled adjournment date, lawmakers can’t pass bills that late. The day will be mostly for retirement speeches and ceremonial functions.Missed Friday’s Northern Lights?

“When our constituents are completely shut out of the conversation, that does have consequences,” said Demuth, of Cold Spring. “We are willing to work with the Democrats to bring this session to an orderly close — if they are going to act like they actually want to work with us over the next four days.”
