U.S. Rep. Veronica Escobar said her name appeared on a list of targets compiled by the assassin who has been charged with killing the Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband and shooting two others on Saturday.

Authorities said Vance Boelter, 57, had a list of 45 elected officials, all Democrats, on his “hit list.”

In a Monday statement, the El Paso Democrat said that a string of recent politically motivated violence, including credible threats made against Texas lawmakers, serves as “jarring reminders that right-wing extremism has a foothold in our country.”

“Politically motivated violence, and violence of any kind, have no place in our democracy and we all have a role to play in moving our country toward healing,” she said.
