Representative Jim Joy calls for resignation of Senator Arrested in Detroit Lakes 

Minnesota District 4B Representative Jim Joy is calling for the resignation of Senator Nicole Mitchell after her arrest for burglary in Detroit Lakes this past Monday. Joy says Mitchell needs to shift her focus onto her family and not politics. 

The Minnesota Senate filed an ethics complaint against Senator Mitchell on Wednesday but the motion failed on a party-line 33 to 33 vote. Mitchell has since then returned to her Senatorial duties. 

If Mitchell were to resign the DFL would lose their Majority in the Senate, breaking the DFL trifecta.
