And I am one of those people. Keith actually was a host of a Fundraiser for my Park Board campaign and profusely endorsed my candidacy this year regardless of my being in another political party. He has also taken time to attend a couple of Green Party meetings because he was curious about what we were up to. He is a true Rainbow Coalition person not matter your political ilk. And as far as EJAM is concerned he has moved mountains forward in regards to interest, concerns and direction of the Environmental Justice Movement here in Minnesota . Another supporter of Keith for whatever future direction he seeks, Annie Young East Phillips

Here is another thing I like about Rep. Ellison. He is the kind of elected official that is very supportive of other candidates and the party in general. He is willing to lend his time and his endorsement to people and causes he believes in, without excessive concern about whether or not it will benefit his political career, and I appreciate that.
