EAGAN,MN—An Eagan attorney and former legislator told The Star Tribune on Wednesday that he is making a second bid for Minnesota's Attorney General. Doug Wardlow, a former one-term Republican legislator, will challenge current Attorney General Keith Ellison in next year's general election. Ellison defeated Wardlow in 2018 in a nearly four-point margin, the Tribune reported. Wardlow represented Eagan in Minnesota's House from 2011 to 2013 and has since worked with Alliance Defending Freedom; a Christian organization that advocates for religious freedom, sanctity of life and marriage and family. Wardlow is also general counsel to Mike Lindell, CEO of MyPillow, and a strong supporter of former President Trump's claims of a rigged election. DFL Chairman Ken Martin told the Star Tribune, "Doug Wardlow is a right-wing extremist who will do anything for political power." >>>Read the full story at The Star Tribune.
