ST. PAUL (AP) — A judge has dismissed a lawsuit challenging whether Republican Michelle Fischbach can serve as both Minnesota’s lieutenant governor and as a state senator.
Ramsey County Chief Judge John Guthmann dismissed the suit Monday. The lawsuit was brought by Destiny Dusosky, a constituent in Fischbach’s heavily Republican Senate district who chaired the local Democratic Party chapter last year.
But the judge ruled the court lacked jurisdiction. An appeal is expected.
