Ellison represents the 5th Congressional District of Minnesota. It once belonged to Thomas Jefferson

The 5th Congressional District of Minnesota once belonged to Jefferson? Fascinating.

Jefferson would be fascinated as well. Minnesota had no congressional representation until 1858 upon statehood. Jefferson died in 1826.

But then again, Jefferson was a Democrat. They sometimes have a way of staying actively involved in politics after they die.
