SAINT PAUL, Minn. – Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison has announced he’s running for a third term.
“I’m running for re-election to keep Minnesota a fair place, where rule of law prevails over power and privilege,” Ellison said in a press release obtained by Flag Family News. “Since Minnesota elected me seven years ago, we’ve won tough fights to help Minnesotans afford their lives. We don’t bow down to kings in America, not presidents, not billionaires, not giant corporations, because everyone deserves to afford their life.”
It was rumored Ellison, who was the first Muslim member of Congress, would run for governor if Tim Walz didn’t campaign for a third term.
Also running for Minnesota Attorney General is Republican Ron Schutz. He’s a U.S. Army veteran, attorney and board member for the conservative think tank Center for the American Experiment.
“Minnesotans deserve better. Our state has been harmed by leaders who are soft on crime, who have allowed a culture of fraud to infect state government, and who have demonized our law enforcement officers. Under Keith Ellison’s watch, violent crime has surged, billions in taxpayer money have been lost, and once-vibrant cities are becoming ghost towns,” Schutz said in a statement.
