Keith EllisonKeith Ellison

Keith Ellison has spent his career standing up for working people, protecting fundamental freedoms, and holding powerful interests accountable. As Minnesota’s Attorney General, he has embraced the role of “the People’s Lawyer,” fighting every day to help Minnesotans afford their lives and live with dignity, safety, and respect.

Attorney General Ellison also sued Glock in 2024 for making and selling handguns that can be easily turned into illegal machine guns because of their design; a lawsuit that GIFFORDS Law Center is working on with his office to help represent the State of Minnesota. These lawsuits exemplify his commitment to holding corporate bad actors accountable when they jeopardize public safety for profit.

We are proud to endorse Keith Ellison for re-election as MN Attorney General in 2026.

SEIU is proud to endorse Attorney General Keith Ellison for re-election in 2026. At a time when billionaires and corporations are trying to bend our system so they have even more control over our lives, our state has been lucky to have AG Ellison to stand up to these attacks. He has been a leader nationally on countless issues, and his work to ensure wage theft is taken seriously in our state has made our state a leader in this critical issue. Union members have seen Keith stepping up time after time to stop those trying to break the law in our state, all with an eye to making sure regular Minnesotans have a fair shot. Having Keith in this role has been transformational in protecting Minnesotans and ensuring we all can afford our lives. We are excited to endorse Keith and intend to work hard to re-elect him for another four years."

Keith Ellison has served as Minnesota's Attorney General since 2019, and his record is a list of fights most people assumed couldn't be won. He forced pharmaceutical companies to cap insulin prices at $35. His Medicaid Fraud Control Unit has secured more than 340 fraud convictions, returning more than $90 million in judgments and restitution to taxpayers. When the Trump administration moved to cut funding to states, Ellison's office fought back and reinstated more than $20 billion for Minnesota schools, infrastructure, and law enforcement. He's also fought price gouging by corporations, pushed back on predatory practices targeting student borrowers, and worked to protect tenants from exploitation. Ellison is running on the argument that Minnesotans need an attorney general who works for them — not for whoever holds power in Washington.
