Five things to know about the Minnesota senator accused of soliciting a teen for sex

excerpts: 

Eichorn, 40, lives in Grand Rapids and has a wife and four children, according to his legislative biography. He is the ranking minority member of the Senate’s Environment, Climate and Legacy Committee and serves on the chamber’s Finance and State and Local Government committees.

During his time in the Senate, he has supported bills that set harsh penalties for people who have their pets pose as service animals, proposed $200,000 in state funding for competitive fishing and legislation that would have allowed Minnesota high schoolers to earn one-third of their credits at religious schools.

“We talk about local control. In my mind, the ultimate local control is the family unit,” Eichorn said during an Education Committee hearing in 2017.

Eichorn came under fire in May 2020 when he tweeted a video of himself referring to a homeless camp as a “nice little tent city” as he pushed Gov. Tim Walz to open the state’s campgrounds in the early days of the pandemic. He deleted the tweet and in a later post said it may have “missed the mark.”

This week, he made headlines as one of five Senate Republicans who sought to classify “Trump derangement syndrome” as a mental illness.
