Ellison Campaigns Across Minnesota Ahead of Midterms

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison campaigned in two Minnesota locations in September 2026 while seeking a third term in office. On September 13, he appeared at a Vikings-Packers watch party in Detroit Lakes, and on September 19, roughly 45 days before the midterm elections, he spoke at DFL Olmsted County headquarters in Rochester. Both stops were part of what has been described as Ellison's 'Afford Your Life Tour,' a statewide campaign effort centered on affordability and consumer protection issues. At the Detroit Lakes event, Ellison discussed his office's record on consumer costs, including lawsuits related to capping insulin prices. In Rochester, he emphasized his record on affordability as the central message of his reelection campaign. Ellison's campaign is ongoing as of the most recent reporting, with the midterm election scheduled for November 2026. Additional stops on the tour beyond the two confirmed events are not detailed in available reporting, and further specifics about the tour's full itinerary, funding, or opposition responses remain unreported.
