Biography:

Ellison is the first open Muslim elected to the United States Congress. Along with Raul Grijavla, he is the Co-Chairman of the Congressional Progressive Caucus and is probably best known for his insistence that he take his oath of office on the Koran.

Ellison is the son of Leonard Ellison and Clida (Martinez) Ellison and was born Catholic but converted to Islam at the age of 19 as part of his quest for “social justice.” To put it in Ellison’s own words: “I can’t claim that I was the most observant Catholic at the time [of my conversion]. I had begun to really look around and ask myself about the social circumstances of the country, issues of justice, issues of change. When I looked at my spiritual life, and I looked at what might inform social change, justice in society… I found Islam.”

As a law student in 1989 and 1990, Ellison wrote several columns under the name “Keith E. Hakim” in the student newspaper, the Minnesota Daily defending Louis Farrakhan and suggesting that Whites be required to pay slavery reparations to Blacks.

Ellison sought election to the Minnesota House of Representatives in 2002 and was elected to the House of Representatives in the Democrat wave of 2006. Since entering the United States Congress, Ellison has worked to pass bills that would allow the federal government to levy taxes on a wide range of banking and financial transactions and has repeatedly had to quell allegations that he has ties to Radical Islam.
