Close
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.[1] It was the closest attorney general race in the state since 1956, and the second-closest ever.[2]
