Keith Ellison Campaigns for Re-election as Minnesota Attorney General

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison is campaigning for re-election on November 3, framing his candidacy as a fight for affordability and legal enforcement. Ellison highlights a record that includes reducing insulin prices to $35 for residents, dismantling a meatpacker price-fixing conspiracy, and securing more than 350 Medicaid fraud convictions.

Ellison also claims to have protected nearly $8 billion in state funding through lawsuits against Donald Trump and challenged the legality of Operation Metro Surge, which involved ICE agents in Minnesota. He asserts that every person deserves to afford their life and live with dignity, safety, and respect.

Opponent Ron Schutz, a patent lawyer, has dismissed Ellison's legal actions as political theater and petty political nonsense. Schutz argues that Ellison's focus on affordability is preposterous and characterizes the attorney general's strategies as wasting taxpayer money. In response, Ellison alleges that Schutz owns stock in the insulin manufacturers that Ellison sued for price-gouging.
