Overview
- Hoffman announced his reelection campaign Monday on Facebook, confirming he will seek another term representing Senate District 34.
- His campaign set an initial goal to raise $10,000 by Wednesday, according to his online donation page.
- In June, Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, were seriously wounded at their Champlin home, and former House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, were killed in a related attack.
- Authorities say Vance Boelter disguised himself as a police officer and carried out the shootings before being arrested after a 43-hour manhunt; prosecutors have filed federal charges.
- First elected in 2012, Hoffman chairs the Senate Human Services Committee, and Democrats hold a one-seat majority in the chamber as all 201 legislative seats go before voters next year.
