Six legislators from the Twin Cities east metro issued a joint statement condemning a demonstration on a Vadnais Heights overpass by a white supremacist group Saturday.

We stand together against hatred in any form and are committed to building a community where everyone feels safe and valued.”
The joint statement was from Sen. Heather Gustafson, DFL-Vadnais Heights; Sen. Tou Xiong, DFL-Maplewood; Sen. John Marty, DFL-Roseville; Rep. Brion Curran, DFL-White Bear Lake; Rep. Jamie Becker-Finn, DFL-Roseville; Rep. Peter Fischer, DFL-Maplewood; and Rep. Kelly Moller, DFL-Shoreview.
