Keith for Attorney General

The same old status quo politics aren't going to cut it. It's time for leaders who put Minnesotans first. I hope you'll watch my new ad going up today:

This is an important moment for Minnesota and our country. I'm friends with both Peggy and Angie. But this race is about more than friendships or campaign ads. It's about who has consistently stood with our communities when it mattered most. Peggy has. That's the kind of leadership this moment demands.

I've got an even better joke for you, Tom.

The court: "Just give me one plausible reason for these subpoenas." The DOJ:

340 CASES PROSECUTED. BILLIONS RECOVERED FOR MINNESOTA. TOOK ON BIG PHARMA. TOOK ON CORPORATE POLLUTERS. TOOK ON FRAUDSTERS. WON. MEANWHILE, DONALD TRUMP IS HANDING OUT PARDONS TO FRAUDSTERS LIKE THEY'RE PARTY FAVORS. AND NOW MINNESOTA REPUBLICANS ARE SENDING ME LETTERS DEMANDING I RESIGN? VERY STRANGE! MAYBE SPEND LESS TIME WRITING LETTERS AND MORE TIME EXPLAINING WHY YOU'RE SILENT WHILE THE FRAUDSTERS AND THE EPSTEIN CLASS GET PARDONS. SAD!

Some people think corporate accountability is about paperwork and penalties. I think it's about people. It's about the families harmed when a gun ends up in the wrong hands. It's about workers, consumers, and communities who pay the price when corporations cut corners. As Attorney General, I've worked to hold powerful interests accountable because protecting people has to come before protecting profits.

When workers stand together, they win. That’s what the Minnesota AFL-CIO is all about. Proud to have their endorsement and to be in the fight for fair pay, safe jobs, and the freedom to organize.

We will continue to protect Minnesotans. We are not letting up.

My statement on the arrests of journalists Georgia Fort and Don Lemon.

I got off our emergency House Dems virtual caucus meeting a little earlier, where I was grateful to hear from Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison and Governor Tim Walz, two former House colleagues, about what they’re encountering in dealing with the administration’s lawlessness on the streets of Minneapolis. Important steps are being taken by the AG’s office to preserve evidence and ensure justice for Alex Pretti, and we’ve already seen a court order to do just that thanks to AG Ellison’s quick action. All eyes are now on the Senate as members face pending action on Department of Homeland Security appropriations. It’s not a hard choice - I made it last week - vote no. Don’t be complicit. I’m also encouraged by the news that more and more colleagues are joining me in co-sponsoring articles of impeachment against Secretary Noem.

I congratulate Minnesota @AGEllison for securing a federal court order requiring DHS/ICE to preserve evidence and stop obstructing justice in the investigation of the killing of Alex Pretti. That a court had to intervene to ensure compliance with the law is a sad testament to how far this administration is willing to go to shield federal agents from scrutiny and accountability. nytimes.com/live/2026/01/2…

I just got off a call with Governor Walz, Attorney General Keith Ellison, and many of my House Democratic colleagues. Here are my takeaways: First, we will not forget – or let the Administration distort – who Renee and Alex were. Renee Good was a wife and mother of three who had just dropped off her 6-year-old son at school. Alex Jeffrey Pretti was an ICU nurse at a VA hospital who spent his last moments caring and standing up for his community. They are just two of far too many people who have lost their lives to the weaponization of ICE.  Second, we are demanding a complete, swift, and independent investigation of the tragedies that have occurred at the hands of ICE in Minnesota. A judge has already ordered DHS to hand over evidence, and just last night, a federal judge blocked the Trump Administration from destroying or altering any evidence. Secretary Noem must comply. These atrocities cannot go unanswered. Third, we must hold the line. Senate Democrats have announced that they will also vote NO on blank checks to DHS and ICE. I have voted NO on funding to DHS, I have called for the impeachment of Secretary Noem, and I will continue to use every tool at my disposal to ensure justice and accountability. These videos are gutwrenching. The headlines can leave us feeling hopeless. But, please continue to lean in and stay engaged. What gives me hope are the organizers in Minnesota, the clergy members who sang hymns and prayed at Minneapolis-Saint Paul Airport, and all those who are peacefully protesting and braving the bitter cold to make clear that ICE has no place in their communities. Here in Maryland, we will continue to show our solidarity, show up, and speak up. Know your rights. Hold the line. Stay safe.

Federal and state investigators meticulously examined the crimes Bock and her accomplices committed. Bock alone is responsible for her own actions, which was proven in court beyond a shadow of a doubt, and her claim about AG Ellison is a lie without a shred of evidence behind it.

She is a liar, fraudster, and manipulator of the highest order who has never acknowledged or accepted her guilt. Now, she’s on a media tour to deflect her guilt onto others instead of taking responsibility for the fraud scheme she ran.

Treating the words of a convicted fraudster like Aimee Bock as though they have any credibility is shocking, and running a story based on them is irresponsible journalism.

As the man who successfully prosecuted George Floyd's murderer, AG @KeithEllison has proven he NEVER backs down in pursuit of justice. This is no different.

Let me be clear: fraud is unacceptable and individuals responsible for it should be prosecuted. I’ve been holding fraudsters and scammers accountable for years and will continue to do so.
