5th District Report: Ellison Beats Fields

Minnesota congressman retains his seat.

  1. Excitement built for Election Day ...
  2. I hope Minneapolis 5th district makes it happen! Vote Chris Fields! Less defense spending from someone who knows firsthand. #vote
  3. Secured a vote for @Fieldsfor5thCD today from my coworker! 1 down, many more to go.
  4. RT @em_ilee: Yo Minneapolis - vote Chris Fields! Fresh blood and common sense. @fieldsfor5thCD
  5. Calls are going great in the @FieldsFor5thCD office! An awesome turnout of first time volunteers to help #GOTV #ElectionDay @hopkinspatch
  6. Fields conceded at about 10:30 p.m. ...
  7. Chris Fields very gracious in defeat. "I'm proud of the campaign we ran. We did things that have never been done before in the 5th district"
  8. @FieldsFor5thCD Keith Ellison raised around $1.9M for his race. Fields raised around $200K.....my vote is for Fields, good luck tonight!
  9. Some looked back to the campaign's low point ...
  10. The fact that Keith Ellison was re-elected after his verbal tirade against Chris Fields at the debate a few weeks ago is very sad.
  11. ... while others looked ahead to future races for Fields:
  12. Silver lining for the #mngop is @FieldsFor5thCD. He deserves some serious consideration for @Mark_Dayton and @alfranken races in #2014
  13. Elections can prove confusing both for political insiders and voters trying to learn who's who:
  14. Bummed to find out that the candidate Chris Fields isn't my high school friend named Chris Fields. @almostchuck
  15. Successive emails from @chrisshields and @fieldsfor5thcd - Shields one mentions Keith Ellison - after 2.5 hours of sleep #confusing
  16. And for some on Twitter, charges made by U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann over the summer died hard ...
  17. That muslim Keith Ellison MN defeated Chris Fields - Ellison is pushing SHARIA LAW legislation, has been for weeks. Dammit
  18. Chris Fields in the MN-5th shar.es/GHnVs Get that MUZ Bro'HOOD plant Keith Ellison the HELL out of our HOUSE! Semper Fi, Marine!
  19. Ellison sounded upbeat as Election Day began:
  20. Happy Voting Day! Good time to remember how fortunate we are; how much more to do to make a more perfect union.
  21. So proud my 18 year old son voted today for the first time.
