DFL's Ellison re-elected in 5th District MINNEAPOLIS — Democrat Keith Ellison has defeated Republican Joel Demos to win a third term in his Minneapolis-area congressional district.
Ellison drew national attention in 2006 when he became the first Muslim elected to the U.S. House of Representatives. He is also Minnesota's first and so far only black member of Congress.
Ellison beat Demos and the Independence Party's Tom Schrunk in the Democratic-dominated district.
