Vice President Walter Mondale Stumps For Keith Ellison (D) In MN Attorney General Race

[Eric J in MN]

Mondale was Jimmy Carter's VP, and the 1984 Democratic nominee for president.

Vice President Walter Mondale today endorsed Congressman Keith Ellison to be Minnesota’s next Attorney General. In addition to serving as Vice President and United States Senator throughout his distinguished career, Mondale previously served Minnesotans as Attorney General in the 1960s.

“I am pleased to endorse Keith Ellison to be Minnesota’s next Attorney General,” said Vice President Mondale. “As a former Minnesota Attorney General, I know how crucial this office is and I know Keith will serve the cause of justice for all Minnesotans in this critical time. His 16 years as a civil rights attorney, along with his strong record defending consumer and worker rights in Congress, make him the most qualified candidate for this important public office. With Keith as our Attorney General, Minnesotans will always have a proven fighter on our side, to defend the rights and freedoms of all – even if the federal government does not.”

1. Democrats persisting through it all.

Gotta love it.

2. I appreciate his support.

Mondale is probably the most famous politician standing by Keith Ellison. Mondale was MN Attorney General before he became a US Senator and VP, and so he knows the importance of the job.

3. Crucial times, old buddy.

Crucial.

4. Mondale: It's 'outrageous' that Doug Wardlow (R) plans to fire the Democratic attorneys

...to replace them with Republicans.

Mondale "said he doesn’t think he ever removed a lawyer from the office and certainly not for political motives." https://minnlawyer.com/2018/11/02/mondale-and-humphrey-warn-against-wardlows-intentions/
