MN Attorney General Keith Ellison and lakes area lawmakers hold town hall in Moorhead

FARGO (KFGO) – Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison and local legislators held a public forum in Moorhead to discuss what it takes to afford their lives.

State Sen. Rob Kupec, and State Reps. Heather Keeler and Jim Joy joined Ellison at Bright Sky Apartments.

During the forum, people broke off into small groups and discussed what they need in order to live with dignity, safety, and respect. 

They brought up many issues including scams, lack of transportation, amount of homelessness, and issues with the education system.

During the event, Keeler said, quote: “I’ve had chairs, I’ve had our AG, I’ve had our speaker of the house come out to the community, so that they really know and understand what Moorhead is all made of before we go back into the legislative session and make decisions based on the entire state of Minnesota. I think our community deserves to be heard.”

Ellison was insistent that the people of Minnesota should call the attorney general’s office with any issues they have, and that they want to hear what the people have to say.
