WASHINGTON, DC – Democratic Attorney General Keith Ellison was the resounding winner in the Minnesota AG debate against Republican extremist Ron Schutz. During the debate, AG Ellison addressed the many concerns Minnesotans have when it comes to the cost of living, executive federal overreach, and public safety. He demonstrated to Minnesotans exactly how he’s shown up for them on these issues and how he’ll continue showing up for them when re-elected. Meanwhile, Schutz made it clear he would rubber stamp Trump’s dangerous agenda and there are at least 174 reasons that raise questions about if he would stand up for Minnesotans over himself.

Statement from Lottie Ash, DAGA Political Director:
“Ron Schutz doesn’t know the job of attorney general and that was clear throughout today’s debate. Schutz continued to demonstrate he can’t be trusted to stand up to Trump or to ensure his personal financial interests won’t conflict with this office. Schutz will continue to sit back and let Trump’s lawlessness go unchecked.

“Minnesota deserves better than Schutz, who will undoubtedly turn the AGs office into a partisan weapon to carry out Trump’s agenda. The choice is obvious: Minnesota needs Keith Ellison.”
