Rep. Keith Ellison said Republicans are neglecting other problems by convening numerous votes on legislation to repeal the Affordable Care Act.
On Thursday, 5th District Rep. Keith Ellison cast his 37th vote (depending on how you count) against a proposal to repeal the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare.

Keith Ellison in the 2012 election. Fields points to Ellison co-chairing the Progressive Caucus in the U.S. House of Representatives as one of his failings. “There are 105 members in the caucus, and they've been largely absent when it comes to fixing issues for large blocs of folks who haven't been traditionally served very well,” Fields said.
