Criminal Defense Lawyer to Become First Muslim in Congress

Keith Ellison, a state lawmaker and lawyer, has become the first Muslim elected to Congress and the first nonwhite elected to Congress from Minnesota. On the campaign trail, Ellison talked little about his religious background, focusing instead on his call for an immediate U.S. withdrawal from Iraq and his support for single-payer health care. He broke from more conservative Muslims by favoring gay rights and abortion rights.

Keith Ellison never ran on his religion — or away from it.
