Eric Lucero, a Minnesota state legislator, posted several statements on his social media account between July 21 and July 22, 2025. The posts address the passing of a colleague, developments in local politics, and concerns about crime in Minneapolis.

On July 21, Lucero commented on the death of a fellow lawmaker: "I am deeply saddened to learn of the passing today of colleague Wright County senator, Sen. Bruce Anderson. Bruce was a true patriot-servant who loved Jesus, loved our great Republic, and loved people. Rest in peace my friend."

Later that day, Lucero discussed the resignation process following a jury conviction: "After being convicted by a jury within a mere 3-hours, instead of resigning immediately, Nichole delays through the weekend before giving her 2-week notice."

On July 22, Lucero addressed shifts within political parties in Minneapolis and rising crime rates: "As Socialists continue advancing within the Democrat Party and have taken over Minneapolis Democrats, people are asking 'Now what?' In other news, rampant crime grows in Minneapolis."

Eric Lucero serves as a Republican member of the Minnesota House of Representatives. His comments reflect ongoing debates about party dynamics and public safety in Minnesota’s largest city.
