Keith Ellison, a state legislator and fellow University of Minnesota Law School alumni, won the DFL endorsement for the 5th District Congressional seat. While it’s likely Ellison will be challenged in a September primary, the endorsement makes Ellison the odds-on favorite to succeed Sabo. I heard Ellison speak at a convention a couple months ago and he was easily the most charismatic and passionate orator to take the stage that day. I’m confident that he will make a great Congressman and that he will make all of us in the Fightin’ Fifth proud. He certainly has my vote.
