Current member of the U.S. House representing the Minneapolis-centered 5th District. Included in the Public Figures registry because F-117A’s 150-person official directory covers current senators and governors only. Her reported October 9 response and the surrounding Trump, Minnesota, immigration, fraud and public-safety evidence are examined in Investigation 08; the profile does not presume any criminal guilt.

Public record & policy context

This is a Public Figures profile, not a current Senate or governor seat record. A sitting House representative may have a verifiable U.S. House office while remaining outside F-117A’s frozen 150 senator/governor identities. Historical and current roles are documented below; Senate votes are never assigned to House members.
