Supporters of Keith Ellison for MN Attonney General.

Groups and individuals who re-affirmed they're supporting him

- The Democratic Farmer-Labor Party (that's the name of MN's Democratic Party)

- MN AFL-CIO

- State Rep Ilhan Omar (D-MN), who will be one of the first Muslim women in Congress next year, and one of the left-most members of the US House.

- State Rep Erin Maye Quade (D-MN), who is the most prominent openly-gay politician in MN.

- Betsy Hodges, Mayor of Minneapolis from 2014-2018. She explains why she doesn't believe the accusation against Ellison here. (An ex-girlfriend says that he got physical with her exactly once: when he wanted her to move out, he unsuccessfully tried to pull her out of bed by her feet. He denies doing that.)

Keith Ellison is pro-choice, pro-worker, and pro-environment.

Doug Wardlow (R) wants to prosecute clinics which provide abortions for supposed fetal body trafficking. He wrote an anti-union "Right to Work" bill. His environmental rating is 6%.

I am voting for Keith Ellison (D).
