Congressman Keith Ellison to run for attorney general in Minnesota

(Reuters) - U.S. Representative Keith Ellison, a Democratic National Committee official and the first Muslim elected to Congress, on Tuesday launched his campaign for attorney general of Minnesota. Ellison, 54, a longtime and vocal critic of Republican U.S. President Donald Trump, filed the necessary paperwork to run for election as his home state's top lawyer. Since Trump took office, several attorneys general have banded together for court battles against his policies on immigration, the environment, women's reproductive health, internet regulation and other issues.
