Minnesota's Ellison would resign from U.S. House if he wins Democratic post

WASHINGTON — Keith Ellison confirmed Wednesday, Dec. 7, that he would resign from the U.S. House if he is elected chairman of the Democratic National Committee.

The Minneapolis Democrat earlier had said he has the energy to remain a congressman while running the party. In recent days, however, he backed down from that and on Wednesday released a statement saying that he would quit his congressional job if elected.

After last month's presidential and congressional losses at the polls, Ellison said, party faithful want a full-time Democratic National Committee chairman.
