North Dakota state Rep. Liz Conmy and another individual died in a small plane crash in Minnesota on April 25.
The crash, which involved a Beech F33A aircraft, took place shortly before noon in a suburb of Minneapolis, the Federal Aviation Administration said.
The North Dakota’s Democratic-NPL Party confirmed Conmy's death in a post on social media. The lawmaker, 67, lived in Fargo and was the mother of four children.
"We are completely heartbroken and gutted by the loss of Representative Liz Conmy. Her death is a profound loss for our state," the party wrote in a post on X. "As a lawmaker, she championed public education, the environment, and transparency."
Officials have not publicly confirmed the identity of the second person on the plane, the pilot. Local outlets KSTP-TV and KFGO reported that family members have identified the man as Dr. Joseph Cass.
