}}{{Elections in Minnesota}}

The 2022 Minnesota Attorney General election was held on November 8, 2022, to elect the attorney general of the U.S. state of Minnesota. Incumbent DFLer Keith Ellison narrowly won reelection to a second term against Republican challenger Jim Schultz.

This attorney general election marked the fourteenth in a row won by the DFL. Schultz improved over 2018 Republican nominee Doug Wardlow in rural counties, but Ellison's increased margins in the Twin Cities metropolitan area were too much to overcome.{{Cite web |date=2022-11-16 |title=Hennepin County suburbs, Minneapolis key in Ellison's win over Schultz |url=https://www.minnpost.com/elections/2022/11/hennepin-county-suburbs-minneapolis-key-in-dfler-ellisons-win-over-gops-schultz-for-attorney-general/ |access-date=2023-01-03 |website=MinnPost |language=en-US}} It was the closest attorney general race in the state since 1956, and the second-closest ever.{{Cite web |last=Libraries |first=University of Minnesota |title=Minnesota Historical Election Archive |url=https://mn.electionarchives.lib.umn.edu/ |access-date=2023-01-03 |website=Minnesota Historical Election Archive |language=en}}

Background

Minnesota's attorney general is the chief legal officer of the state, tasked with representing over 100 state agencies in legal proceedings.{{Cite web |title=About the Office of Attorney General Keith Ellison |url=https://www.ag.state.mn.us/Office/Default.asp |access-date=2023-01-03 |website=www.ag.state.mn.us}} The attorney general also enforces some consumer protection regulations, such as anti-trust laws. While most cases the office undertakes are civil in nature, the attorney general may assist counties with complex criminal cases.{{Cite web |last=Van Oot |first=Torey |date=2022-09-19 |title=Minnesota AG rivals debate size, scope of criminal division |url=https://www.axios.com/local/twin-cities/2022/09/19/attorney-general-minnesota-criminal-division-prosecution |access-date=2023-01-03 |website=Axios |language=en}}

= History and nature of the office =

Prior to the 2022 election, Minnesota Republicans had not won the attorney general's office thirteen times in row since 1966 when Douglas Head won the office, and Republicans had only held the office for four years since 1954.{{Cite web |title=Our Campaigns - Container Detail Page |url=https://www.ourcampaigns.com/ContainerHistory.html?ContainerID=2279 |access-date=2023-01-03 |website=www.ourcampaigns.com}} The office has also been a launching pad for candidates to run for the governorship; every Minnesota attorney general since Head has gone on to run for governor.

= Synopsis of Ellison's tenure =

In 2018, then-U.S. Representative Keith Ellison was elected to replace retiring fellow DFLer Lori Swanson, who ran unsuccessfully for governor. Ellison was the first Black person elected to statewide office in Minnesota, and the first Muslim elected to any statewide office in the United States.

As Attorney General, Ellison played a key role in the state's prosecution of Derek Chauvin{{Cite web|date=2020-06-03|title=Four takeaways from Ellison's decision to prosecute the three other ex-MPD officers, add 2nd-degree murder charge against Chauvin|url=https://www.minnpost.com/metro/2020/06/five-takeaways-from-ellisons-decision-to-prosecute-the-three-other-ex-mpd-officers-add-2nd-degree-murder-charge-against-chauvin/|access-date=2021-04-14|website=MinnPost|language=en-US}} and pushed for policing reforms in the aftermath of the murder of George Floyd.{{Cite web|date=2020-05-29|title=A Minnesota task force on policing recommended 28 reforms for deadly-force incidents.

Ellison also led his office's legal actions against businesses which violated COVID-19-related restrictions.

Democratic–Farmer–Labor primary

Ellison announced that he would run for reelection on November 15, 2021. Bill Dahn, a perennial candidate, also ran.

Only Ellison sought the DFL endorsement at the party's May 2022 convention. He won endorsement unanimously{{Cite web |title=DFL Party Endorses Keith Ellison for Attorney General |url=https://dfl.org/press-release/dfl-party-endorses-keith-ellison-for-attorney-general/ |access-date=2023-01-03 |website=DFL Minnesota |language=en-US}} and went on to win the primary convincingly.
