Harper Moyski's Parents Back Klobuchar for Governor, Say Demuth Lied to Them
The parents said Klobuchar has backed Annunciation families from the start, while Demuth says the House held separate votes on gun measures.
- On Thursday, the parents of Harper Moyski, a 10-year-old killed in the 2025 Annunciation Catholic Church shooting, publicly endorsed Democratic U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar for Minnesota governor, criticizing Republican House Speaker Lisa Demuth.
- The parents alleged Demuth broke a promise made in their living room last year to allow a House vote on a gun violence prevention package. Mike Moyski claimed she "continued to lie" when confronted about blocking the measure.
- During Wednesday's debate in Rochester, Klobuchar accused Demuth of lying to the parents. Demuth's campaign responded that she "supported elements of the Annunciation parents' agenda," including mental health funding and security upgrades.
- The state Senate passed a comprehensive gun violence prevention package earlier this year, but the House, led by Demuth, never brought it to a vote despite multiple attempts by House Democrats to force action.
- With Election Day on Nov. 3 approaching—what would have been Harper's 12th birthday—Moyski expressed hope for "a nice gift from above." Klobuchar pledged to sign the gun control package if elected governor.
