Ellison’s GOP opponents have all pledged to use the scarce resources of the Attorney General’s office to target transgender youth. Protecting the rights and safety of LGBTQ+ Minnesotans against right-wing attacks is more critical now than ever.
Human Rights Campaign Interim President Joni Madison released the following statement:
“LGBTQ+ Minnesotans deserve leaders who will fight alongside them for equality. Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison has a strong track record of advocating for the LGBTQ+ community and has been a reliable champion and voice for our community and many other marginalized groups. The Human Rights Campaign is proud to endorse him for reelection. United together, we’ll fight for progress so all LGBTQ+ Minnesotans are free to be who they are and live their lives free from harassment and discrimination.”
Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison released the following statement:
“I am deeply honored to receive the endorsement of the Human Rights Campaign. As we see a mounting effort of right-wing legislation from the GOP targeting LGBTQ+ community members, it is more important now than ever that we fight back against bigotry everywhere. Anti-LGBTQ+ hate has no place anywhere in Minnesota, and I will stand against it every time. Grateful to work alongside the Human Rights Campaign to make sure that everyone—no matter who you are or who you love—gets to live with dignity, safety, and respect.”
Attorney General Ellison continues to consolidate significant support from key advocacy groups, including Planned Parenthood Advocacy Fund, End Citizens United, Collective PAC, and labor unions such as MN AFL-CIO, SEIU MN State Council, and the Minnesota Association of Professional Employees’ (MAPE) Political Action Committee.
Attorney General Ellison has been working hard as the people's lawyer to take on the most serious and violent criminal cases for prosecutors across the state, protect Minnesotans from fraud and abuse, and protect families’ pocketbooks from price gouging and corporate bad actors.
