After being defeated by incumbent Congressman Keith Ellison, Fields reflects on the outcome of Election Day and encourages people to keep up their fight for a better America.
Editor's note: The following is a release from Chris Fields for Congress. Dear Friends, Last night was a very tough night for Republican candidates across the great state of Minnesota. In one night the State House and Senate went from red to blue. Seats that were traditionally “safe” lost in a landslide. This loss is tough for all of us. I came up woefully short in my campaign to unseat Keith Ellison. However, the campaign for freedom never dies. It is because of the tremendous support, and generosity that each of you has given me we will live to fight another day. Our fight is not against Keith Ellison or the Democratic Party, it is a fight for America's future. This is a time to reflect but not retreat from our core values…

A local shows his support for Rep. Keith Ellison's re-election bid.
Dear Editor, The best campaign slogan this election year comes from Congressman Keith Ellison: EVERYBODY COUNTS, EVERYBODY MATTERS. That says it all, doesn’t it? It shows respect for his constituency—even for those people who didn’t vote for him. It also shows an awareness of his own voting on Capitol Hill. He understands how his legislative action can impact the lives of ALL Americans—not just Minnesotans, but everybody in this country. Keith Ellison is one of those rare politicians who actually believes in the American Dream. Regardless of color, creed, ethnicity, or ideology, he knows we’re all dreamers in this idealistic country together. He knows that his America is also my America, your America, our America. He really “gets it.” More…

Candidates for Minnesota's 5th Congressional District squared off Thursday morning in a Patch/KFAI-FM debate.
During a live radio debate with his Republican challenger Chris Fields Thursday morning, Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) called his opponent a "scumbag" and repeatedly called him a "liar." The debate was broadcast on KFAI-FM Radio and co-sponsored by Patch, Mature Voices Minnesota, and KFAI. It marked the third time the rivals for Minnesota's Fifth Congressional District have sat down for a debate in less than a month, and that strain may have started to show in the cramped radio booth. KFAI News Director Dale Connelly interspersed himself between the candidates, fearing a physical altercation as Ellison was visibly angered by Fields' accusations that his campaign had led reporters to a dismissed temporary restraining order filed by Fields' ex-…

The Chris Fields campaign releases a statement following a debate with Rep. Keith Ellison that turned nasty Thursday morning.
During a heated debate with Rep. Keith Ellison, Republican challenger Chris Fields was able to remain fairly calm during Ellison's defensive, and at times, vulgar comments. The debate got so hot, the station cut into a break as the two candidates were arguing. The station's news director even had to step in to call things down at that point. Fields' campaign camp released a statement following the fiesty discussion: “At a time when we need civility and leadership from Washington politicians Congressman Ellison has proved that he cannot deliver and as a result we all suffer. Since Ellison has been in office he has pursued a senseless foreign policy agenda, failed domestic policies and pointless legislation such as reparations for slavery. …
Congressman Keith Ellison said he was acting as a father rather than public servant when a debate with Chris Fields took an uncivil turn Thursday.
After a near boxing match between Rep. Keith Ellison and his opponent Chris Fields during a debate on KFAI Radio Thursday morning, Ellison released a statement apologizing for his temper flare: "Today during a radio broadcast debate, my opponent made false statements about an intensely personal family matter. My teenage daughter was present in the next room listening to the debate. "In response to my opponent's false statement, I made an uncivil reference to him. I should not have done so. I acted beneath my personal standard as a public official, and I apologize. "In the course of this campaign, we have been focused on creating economic prosperity for working families, protecting our constitutional right to vote, and making sure that …
From throwing around words like "scumbag" to accusations, the Fifth District candidates let it all hang out Thursday morning during a lively debate at KFAI Radio.
With less than three weeks to Election Day, DFL Congressman Keith Ellison and his Republcan opponent Chris Fields went to bat for their candidacies in a heated debate on KFAI Radio Thursday morning. In fact, the discussion got so heated a temporary hold was put on the radio broadcast and livestream. Early in the hour-long debate, Ellison began repeatedly calling Fields a liar, and at one point shamed Fields for his alleged lies. “I’m not going to sit here and let you lie like that. You are not to be trusted,” Ellison said after Fields accused him of lying about being on the U.S. House’s Foreign Affairs Commission in a previous KFAI interview. “You ought to be ashamed of yourself for the liar that you are.” However, Fields took the name-…

The congressman has been making the rounds on various news programs following the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Libya.
Following the deaths of four Americans killed in attacks on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya last Tuesday, Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) appeared as part of a roundtable on NBC's "Meet the Press" Sunday morning to discuss the ongoing events in the Middle East and their impact on U.S. foreign policy. Ellison defended President Obama's foreign policy skills after New York Republican congressman and chairman of the Committee on Homeland Security, Peter King, accused the president's policies of being confusing, apologetic and misguided. "The president has been consistent, he's been steady," Ellison said. "The last thing we need is to start making quick, emotionally-charged decisions. We need consistent steady leadership like the president …
