Chicago, IL – Last night, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel and Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison spoke at the Democratic National Convention.

AG Nessel rallied the crowd by praising Vice President Kamala Harris for being a strong leader and always fiercely protecting the people she serves. “I know, whether she’s Attorney General or President of the United States, Kamala Harris will always be in our corner…We know when she takes the oath to preserve, protect, and defend the constitution, she’s actually read it.”

In another powerful moment talking about the rights of LGBTQ+ Americans and their families, AG Nessel shared, “By the way I have a message for the Republicans and the Justices of the United States Supreme Court, they can pry this wedding band from my cold, dead, gay, hand.”

AG Ellison discussed his 18 year long experience with Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and applauded both Gov. Walz and Vice President Harris’s commitment to listening to the American people. “If you want to know where they stand on some of the most important issues facing our country and the world, let me assure you, Kamala and Tim hear you. They listen. They care. And everyone is included in their circle of compassion.”

He also talked about the role of AGs saying, “Selling defective goods is a scam. And like Kamala Harris, I am an Attorney General. And Attorneys General know what a scam is when they see it. Like my friend Tish James for example from New York, America, we won’t be scammed again.”
