AG Keith Ellison will face off against out-of-touch GOP extremist Ron Schutz
WASHINGTON, DC – The race for Minnesota Attorney General is set between AG Keith Ellison, who’s been a fighter for Minnesotans, helping them afford their lives and keeping them safe, and far-right extremist Ron Schutz. Schutz is unqualified for the job, out of touch with Minnesotans, and would be a rubber stamp on Trump’s lawlessness.
Statement from Lottie Ash, DAGA Political Director:
“Ron Schutz is wholly unqualified and unfit to be Minnesota’s AG. He’s an out-of-touch, power-hungry, lapdog for Donald Trump. He will let Trump’s lawlessness go unchecked while failing to defend the rights and freedoms of Minnesotans. Meanwhile, AG Keith Ellison has made protecting and fighting for Minnesotans his priority. From taking on slumlords who jack up the rent, to cracking down on fraud to championing workers’ rights and consumer protections, AG Ellison has a proven track record of delivering for Minnesotans so they can afford their lives. We’re ready to help re-elect AG Ellison this November.”
