Minnesota Democratic Party Chairman Ken Martin is not saying whether Congressman Keith Ellison should end his campaign for state attorney general, amid allegations of domestic abuse leveled by an ex-girlfriend. Martin says, “The D-F-L Party takes any allegation of domestic abuse seriously. It’s a fluid situation. It’s still developing. We believe that Keith Ellison should answer the questions that have been posed to him and he should address those questions head-on.” But Martin says “Keith is our nominee and… at this point we support him.”
The D-F-L State Central Committee meets Saturday and one question is whether they’ll endorse Ellison, who bested four Democratic rivals by a large margin in Tuesday’s primary election.
