Incumbent Keith Ellison holds the strongest position in the Minnesota attorney general race due to his two terms in office, easy Democratic primary win, and the DFL’s long dominance of the seat since the 1960s. Republican nominee Ronald J. Schutz, a veteran trial attorney unopposed in his primary, has focused attacks on fraud enforcement and public safety record, themes that gained traction in a late-August KSTP/SurveyUSA poll showing the candidates tied at 43 percent. Traders appear to weigh Ellison’s incumbency advantage, fundraising, and union support more heavily than the narrow polling gap and Republican messaging on accountability, keeping his implied probability well above Schutz’s. The November 3 general election remains two months away with potential for further shifts from campaign spending or late developments.
