Rep. Keith Ellison is calling it quits in Congress; will run for Minnesota attorney general
Rep. Keith Ellison announced Tuesday he is running for attorney general of Minnesota, vowing to be the “People’s Lawyer” and signaling an interest in using the courts to thwart President Trump’s agenda.
Mr. Ellison’s decision came hours before Tuesday’s filing deadline for candidates in Minnesota and opens up a battle to replace him in the U.S. House five months out from the midterm elections.
“No one — not even a President — is above the law,” Mr. Ellison said in his announcement.
