The co-founders of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream on Thursday endorsed Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) for the Democratic National Committee (DNC) chairmanship.
“Ellison is an authentic champion of working families and he’s ready to bring that energy and mindset to the Democratic Party,” Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield said in a joint U.S. News op-ed published Thursday.
While the ice cream company has released flavors named after public figures, including comedian Stephen Colbert and musicians Dave Matthews and Jerry Garcia, the pair don't announce plans for an Ellison-themed flavor in their op-ed. Instead, they pitch the Minnesota politician as part of the party's "next generation" of leaders.
“The Democratic Party now faces a critical choice: seek out new, young leadership to electrify the next generation so they can take back the state houses, take back the governor’s mansions, take back Congress and take back the White House in order to usher in a new age of good government and social justice,” they added. "Or stick to business-as-usual that the people have already rejected at the ballot box. Let’s try something new.”
Ellison is one of the two leading candidates in the race ahead of a late February vote, a favorite of the party's Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) wing who is facing off against former Labor secretary and Obama administration favorite Tom Perez.
Cohen and Greenfield said 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s loss to now-President Trump is evidence that the party should abandon its old-guard politicians.
