Minnesota attorney general hopeful: ‘We’re going to retire Keith Ellison from politics’

(St. Cloud Times) Doug Wardlow was optimistic at a campaign stop in St. Cloud Saturday morning.

After a short rally in St. Joseph, the GOP candidate for attorney general spoke to a crowd of about 30 at the St. Cloud GOP office.

Wardlow said it appears the campaign of his DFL opponent, U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn., is “panicking,” because of recent attacks against Wardlow’s campaign.

“In 17 days, we are going to retire Keith Ellison from politics,” Wardlow said.
