Rep. Keith Ellison formally announced his candidacy to be chairman of the Democratic National Committee.
"I am proud to announce my candidacy for Chair of the Democratic National Committee, and if given the opportunity to serve, I will work tirelessly to make the Democratic Party an organization that brings us together and advances an agenda that improves people’s lives," Ellison said in a statement released Monday afternoon.
The Minnesota congressman had been laying the groundwork to run for DNC chairman even before the deep losses Democrats suffered on Election Day. In recent days, his efforts have begun to come into public view.
Ellison, who played a prominent role in Sen. Bernie Sanders presidential campaign, has already been endorsed for chairman by Sanders and Sens. Chuck Schumer and Harry Reid, as well as Rep. Raul Grijalva, co-chairman of the Congressional Progressive Caucus. Sen. Elizabeth Warren also said Ellison would make a "terrific" chairman.
Former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean already announced that he's running for DNC chairman and the field of candidates is likely to expand. Last week, Dean argued that Ellison couldn't adequately serve as both DNC chairman and as a member of Congress.
"You cannot do this job and sit in a political office at the same time. It's not possible," Dean said in an interview on MSNBC. That view is shared by critics of Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz's tenure as DNC chairwoman.
But Ellison's supporters say that the Minnesota congressman can juggle both jobs.
"I think he's completely equipped to hold both jobs," said former Nevada Democratic National Committeewoman Erin Bilbray, a former backer of Sanders' presidential campaign. Ellison also supported Sanders in the Democratic primary.
Asked about Dean's bid, Bilbray said she didn't have anything against the former DNC chairman but that there needs to be "fresh leadership with new ideas."
"I believe very strongly that the Sanders base is the future of our Democratic party, that is where the party's going between the millennials and Gen-Xers," Bilbray said. "They want new ideas and I think Ellison represents that. Dean is a good man but he comes from a different era."

Pff... Yall are all late. You guys should see the extreme c00ning on Nairaland. No offense bit c00ning seems to have hit West Africans the hardest.
Southern Africans I dont really see this with because they experienced white supremacy HEAD ON and are not as naive. And yes I know real SA in real life.
A man with several failed businesses and was bailed out by his father several times is going to fix the economy
