Schultz Statement on the DFL Endorsing Radical Keith Ellison

PLYMOUTH, Minn. – Jim Schultz, the Republican endorsed candidate for Minnesota Attorney General, released the following statement in response to the DFL endorsing Keith Ellison for Attorney General.

“DFL activists today endorsed the most far-left attorney general candidate in Minnesota history. Former DNC co-chair, Keith Ellison is a radical political activist masquerading as Attorney General.

“Despite statewide runaway violent crime – including three shootings this week in St. Paul alone – Ellison recently stated that ‘the vast majority of the work in his office is focused on civil matters.’ In other words, not on prosecuting criminals. Keith Ellison’s support of ‘Defund the Police’ has made Minnesotans less safe.

“When I am Attorney General, we will focus on protecting Minnesota families by focusing on violent crime and keeping violent offenders off the streets of our communities.”
