Description

The Center for the Study of Politics and Governance hosted a series of public talks by prominent government leaders as part of our ongoing commitment to fostering informed and substantive discussion on important matters of public policy. Connecting with Government will allow Minnesota's elected officials the opportunity to rise above the talking points and fractious back-and-forth of the legislative process to make substantive statements about issues of importance for Minnesotans. It also creates a forum for students and citizens to listen and raise questions with their elected officials. Keith Ellison is a member of the United States House of Representatives, elected to represent the Fifth District of Minnesota in 2006. Congressman Ellison serves on the House Financial Services and Judiciary Committees. From 2002 to 2006, Ellison served in the Minnesota House of Representatives, representing Legislative District 58B. At the Minnesota Legislature, Ellison worked on a variety of public policy issues including voting rights, public safety, and the minimum wage. Prior to public office, Ellison practiced law and served as the executive director of the nonprofit Legal Rights Center in Minneapolis. Ellison holds degrees from Wayne State University and the University of Minnesota Law School.
