ALEXANDRIA — Court documents reveal that the address of the search warrant executed Wednesday, Aug. 7, in Alexandria was that of Wendy Hoff, whose husband Judd Hoff is running for a seat in the Minnesota House of Representatives.

According to a press release issued Thursday, Aug. 8, more than 240 signs were recovered at the address located on the 2700 block of Le Homme Dieu Heights in Alexandria.

The signs include political campaign signs and real estate signs, along with signage for special events and local businesses.

The search warrant reads that the signs were both large and small and included those advertising Donald Trump, Gov. Tim Walz, Calvary Lutheran, Art in the Park, Casey's Amusement, ReMax, the Vikingland Parade, Legacy of the Lakes, Hoffman Produce and many others.

Hoff allegedly told an officer, "If I put a sign within 12 feet of this property, by law you as a person could come by and take that piece of property because it's in the right of way."

She also allegedly stated, "You can't even put a — technically a garage sale sign, a realtor sign, 'kay? Them bs gotta go."

"We are working as quickly as we can to return the signs to the victims," he said in the release.

Judd Hoff filed as a DFL candidate for District 12B and is running against Mary Franson, R-Alexandria.
