Republican Minnesota state Rep. Walter Hudson is one of the three local lawmakers planning to testify next week at a House Oversight Committee hearing on alleged fraud in the state.

"What we've seen in the past few days in the wake of the Nick Shirley video is a lot of sensationalism from a lot of different angles and attempts to turn this into a partisan boxing match, when a point of fact, just a few months ago, this was a very bipartisan issue," Hudson said.
