Former Minnesota Senate leader Kari Dziedzic passes away

House furthers push to require insurance coverage for cancer patients who need wigs

01:58

ST. PAUL, Minn. — Former Minnesota DFL Senate leader Kari Dziedzic passed away Friday after a long battle with caner.

Her family released a statement on Saturday saying Dziedzic “entered eternal life surrounded by her family” and “Kari will be remembered by her family and those she served for her enthusiastic and humble leadership, which inspired all who knew her. She had a heart of gold, willing to go to any measure to help those she loved.”

Dziedzic stepped down as the Minnesota Senate Majority leader in Feb. of this year, after learning her cancer had returned. She was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in early 2023.

Dziedzic’s personal health struggles prompted a policy proposal: Health insurance should cover wigs for cancer patients. Her bill requires insurance coverage with a doctor’s prescription for wigs up to $1,000 per year. The bill is set to go into effect on Jan. 1.

Dziedzic was tapped to take over the DFL leadership role after they secured a one-seat majority in the senate in 2022. During the 2023 session, under her leadership, legislators swiftly passed laws codifying abortion rights, securing school meals for Minnesota students and expanding voting rights for prior felons.

Dziedzic is survived by her mother, five siblings and their spouses and her nieces and nephews. Her family is requesting privacy at this time.

Minnesota Senate Minority Leader Mark Johnson says legislative session will have 'a lot going on'

Minnesota Senate Minority Leader Mark Johnson says legislative session will have 'a lot going on'

EAST GRAND FORKS — As Minnesota lawmakers head into their legislative session, working to pass the next state budget likely will be the biggest item on their agenda, according to Senate Minority Leader Mark Johnson.

“Especially if we start off slow with these court cases, I’m not planning a vacation in June,” said Johnson, a Republican from East Grand Forks. “There are a lot of needs in this state — not just in my district but across the state — but given the issues with the budget right now … there’s going to be a lot going on down in St. Paul.”

The Legislature convenes Jan. 14 for its 94th session. The Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor party has a one-seat majority in the Senate, and the House of Representatives is expected to be tied at 67. While a

power-sharing agreement — with both DFL and Republican chairs

on all committees — has been discussed, two ongoing court cases mean unknowns remain on final majorities.

“We don’t know when those are going to be resolved,” Johnson said. “The House might be in a little bit of limbo trying to figure out who’s going to be leading.”

Two cases — one

regarding discarded ballots in a close representative race in Shakopee

and another challenging the residency of a Roseville representative — are working their way through Minnesota court.

If a DFL-Republican tie does end up being the case on Jan. 14, there’s legal and constitutional ambiguity about whether co-speakers of the House could exist. A tie has only happened one other time in Minnesota, in 1979. At that time, the Independent Republican Party gained the speakership and the DFL chaired the rules, taxes and appropriations committees. It created

chaotic final days of the session.

There’s also the case of Sen. Nicole Mitchell, DFL-Woodbury, who has been

accused of burglary in Becker County court and has a jury trial scheduled for the end of January.

There have been calls for her resignation, but others have stressed that she hasn’t yet had her day in court.

“So even before we get into the budget cycle, there are all these dynamics going on behind the scenes,” Johnson said. “That’s triggered some interesting conversations of a few Democrats in the Senate.”

Even disregarding the controversies, the Legislature will be tasked with creating and passing a budget for the next two-year biennium.

The last budget, passed in 2023, was only the

eighth budget in 40 years that was passed before the regular session’s

constitutional end date of the Monday after the third Saturday in May. This year, that date is May 19. If a budget isn’t passed by then, Gov. Tim Walz will have to call a special session; if a budget isn’t passed by June 30, the government will shut down. That last occurred in 2011.

With the Minnesota Management and Budget Office

saying that the state has a structural imbalance

and as costs increase for long-term care and special education, Johnson said the Legislature needs to look at policy fixes.

“There are some policy things that we could be doing going forward that would really help out and fix what the Democrats have been doing over the last two years with that extreme policy,” he said. “Minnesotans are paying for (it) every single day and we can address and make this government more effective and efficient, and we can make it cheaper and better for people in Minnesota to live here.”
