Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) says he is the best candidate to lead the Democratic National Committee because he could increase voter turnout in areas that help Democrats win elections.
"We need to turn out the vote, and I'm actually pretty good at it," Ellison said on CNN Monday.
"I believe by getting out the vote in Milwaukee, Detroit, Flint and the suburbs of Philly, we could have changed this whole election."
Ellison, a six-term congressman, is running to be chairman of the DNC. His candidacy is backed by key figures and party leaders, including Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and incoming Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.)
