State Senator Judy Seeberger Lied to Voters to Protect Criminal Politician

A Detroit Lakes resident's life changed forever when Minnesota State Senator Nicole Mitchell—now a convicted felon—broke into her home by prying open a basement window with a crowbar in an apparent attempted robbery. Mitchell was arrested at the scene, yet despite Republicans' calls for her immediate resignation and video evidence of the break-in, she refused to step down from the Minnesota Senate.

Mitchell didn’t maintain her seat in office alone, she had the backing of her friend and Cottage Grove area State Senator Judy Seeberger to thank for helping her survive several votes to expel her from the Senate.

However, when Seeberger thought nobody was paying attention, she started spreading misinformation to her constituents that she actually wanted to vote to expel Nicole Mitchell, but wasn’t allowed to.

Unfortunately for Judy Seeberger, all of her votes related to Nicole Mitchell are on the public record, including Seeberger participating in the very same “procedural gymnastics” she called out her Democrat colleagues for. On SIX separate occasions, Judy Seeberger voted to protect Mitchell from expulsion, prohibiting her from voting, or even requesting her resignation following her crime.

1.     April 24, 2024: Judy Seeberger votes against a motion to start due-process proceedings “to consider expelling Senator Nicole Mitchell.” (State of Minnesota​, Journal of the Senate, Senate.MN.gov, p. 14824, 4/24/24)

2.     April 29, 2024: Judy Seeberger votes to rule a motion out of order that would prohibit legislators charged with a crime of violence from voting on bills. (State of Minnesota​, Journal of the Senate, Senate.MN.gov, p. 15560, 4/29/24)

3.     April 29, 2024: Judy Seeberger votes to rule a motion out of order that would prohibit the Secretary of the Senate from recording the votes of legislators charged with a crime of violence. (State of Minnesota​, Journal of the Senate, Senate.MN.gov, p. 15561, 4/29/24)

4.     April 30, 2024: Judy Seeberger votes against a motion for the Senate to formally request the resignation of Nicole Mitchell. (State of Minnesota​, Journal of the Senate, Senate.MN.gov, p. 15583, 4/30/24)

5.     May 15, 2024: Judy Seeberger votes to rule a motion out of order expelling Nicole Mitchell from the Minnesota Senate. (State of Minnesota, Journal of the Senate, Senate.MN.gov, p. 17002- 17003 , 5/15/24)

6.     January 27, 2025: Judy Seeberger votes to rule a motion out of order expelling Nicole Mitchell from the Minnesota Senate. (State of Minnesota​, Journal of the Senate, Senate.MN.gov, p. 203, 1/27/25)

Judy Seeberger misled her community again before voting for the 6^th time to protect Nicole Mitchell. She made this post one month after voting against a resolution to request Mitchell’s resignation.

Judy Seeberger enabled Nicole Mitchell to continue sitting in the Legislature voting on key issues regarding public safety, criminal justice, and more for over a year following her crime. Mitchell resigned after being convicted of felony burglary and sentenced to 180 days in jail.

If Judy Seeberger is willing to lie about her position on expelling a burglar from the Minnesota Senate, what else is she lying to voters about?
