House pauses to remember former lawmaker Alice Mae Johnson
Summary
Representative Cagle announced the April 11, 2025, death of former state lawmaker Alice Mae Johnson and asked members for a moment of silence; Cagle spoke about Johnson's public service and mentorship.
Representative Cagle told the Minnesota House on April 20, 2025, that former lawmaker Alice Mae Johnson died April 11 at age 84 and asked members to rise in her honor.
Cagle read biographical details on the House floor, saying Johnson was born April 1, 1941, in Doula, Minnesota, earned a master's degree in public policy from Harvard University, served in both the Minnesota House and Senate, and was a devoted mother and grandmother. Cagle said Johnson “put the full court press on me to run for the House” and described her as “a wonderful mentor and a supporter.”
After the announcement, Cagle requested a moment of silence. The House complied by standing in memory of Johnson. The transcript notes her service beginning in 1987 but does not specify an end date; the record provided does not include additional details about the offices or dates beyond those read on the floor.
