MN-AG: Keith Ellison to run for third term as Minnesota attorney general
Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison announced Tuesday that he’ll pursue a third term, citing his desire to continue pressing back on the Trump administration and making the cost of living more affordable.
Ellison touted his work challenging various companies over their practices and pricing, resulting in settlements with the state. His entry into the race likely clears the field on the DFL side. In the last year, he has frequently sued over President Donald Trump’s actions that have a bearing on Minnesota programs.
“I'm running again because I believe that there's still so much more to do to protect Minnesotans family budgets, so much more to help people afford their lives. We still have prescription drug prices that are beyond what people are able to afford. Housing prices are going up, and of course, people, a lot of workers are facing issues like wage theft and misclassification fraud,” Ellison said in an interview Tuesday with MPR News.
“At the same time, it's undeniable that the federal government, under Donald Trump, is taking action in violation of the law,” he continued.
