MICHIGAN CITIES OFFER ARABIC-LANGUAGE BALLOTS AHEAD OF MIDTERMS FINAL
Keith Ellison defeated Republican challenger by 20,000 votes to be reelected as Minnesota Attorney General.
Keith Ellison became the first Muslim congressman, chair of the Progressive caucus and Vice Chair of the Democratic Party.
He left his safe congressional seat to run for the Attorney General position and won.
Schultz, a Republican newcomer to politics, ran his campaign by blaming Ellison for rising crime.
In a statement, Ellison said he’s “grateful” for the win, adding: “But this election was tough. Millions of dollars were spent to sow division, hate, and fear. And we overcame it: we were positive, and Minnesotans responded.”
