Four-way free-for-all in Minnesota's 5th primary
San Jose Mercury News
MINNEAPOLIS - In the race for an open congressional seat in Minnesota's bluest district, winning the Democratic endorsement should be a big boost toward an office that might be safely held for decades.
But it hasn't worked out that way for Keith Ellison, a state legislator who emerged from a crowd earlier this year to win his party's backing. The plum seat, held for 14 terms by retiring Rep. Martin Sabo, proved too strong for several of those hopefuls to step aside for Ellison.
Heading into the Sept. 12 primary, Ellison faces serious competition from three determined Democrats. Full story.
