Minneapolis suburb's candidates campaign amid fear and violence after political assassinations
As the nation comes to grips with the assassination of conservative influencer Charlie Kirk, two candidates in the Minneapolis suburb of Brooklyn Park are going door to door seeking to win a legislative seat left open by another political attack that killed a longtime state lawmaker and her husband.

Melissa Hortman.
