Attorney General of Minnesota

Statewide — all of Minnesota

General election · Tuesday, November 3, 2026

  • Ellison won the August 11, 2026 DFL primary over David Madgett, 573,186 votes (85%) to 103,743 (15%) in WDIO's results display; Ronald J. Schutz was unopposed for the Republican nomination.[7][1]
  • KAXE's election guide and The Green Papers (which compiles state candidate filings) both list only Ellison and Schutz as candidates for attorney general; the Minnesota Secretary of State's official candidate-filing site could not be queried without a form submission and was not checked directly.[1][6]

Issue evidence — side by side

Recorded votes, documented positions and candidates’ own words are shown with sources. “In their own words” quotes a candidate on the topic without inferring a stance. Votes describe specific bills or motions; they do not establish overall support or opposition to a broad issue. A dash means our research has no evidence on that topic, not that the candidate has no position.

Research notes & limits

Slate from KAXE and The Green Papers (which links the state's candidate filings); Minnesota's official candidate filings site (candidates.sos.mn.gov) requires a form query that was not attempted, and Ballotpedia returns a WAF page. Primary vote totals are from WDIO's results display. Ellison's legislative and congressional service is from the Minnesota Legislative Reference Library. Campaign finance and polling omitted.
