Summary
A Minnesota Democratic Senate candidate, Peggy Flanagan, is facing renewed attention over her grandfather’s alleged history of mental illness and suspected involvement in multiple killings. Alpha News reported on John Jacob Hartmann’s decades in psychiatric custody, including two escapes and links to at least four deaths, though he was never charged. The allegations resurfaced ahead of the midterm elections, with no public response from Flanagan or her opponent, Michelle Tafoya. Flanagan has previously spoken about her upbringing and advocacy for Native American communities.
