The last-minute decision by U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison to run for state attorney general instead of re-election to Congress shook up Minnesota politics for the second day in a row on Tuesday, leaving a number of prominent DFLers suddenly squaring off for multiple political offices in a high-stakes election year.
"I decided this morning the right thing to do is not seek comfort in security and to do what I think the dictates of my conscience are telling me," Ellison said, minutes after filing for the attorney general primary. He now faces a crowded DFL primary that includes former Attorney General Mike Hatch and others.
