It is widely held that Democrats lost the presidency — and the opportunity to control the Senate — because of apathy. Many voters feel that the party is run by out-of-touch career politicians who think little of what a working-class family in Baltimore goes through. We need leaders who have fresh ideas, and who can inspire. Most of all, we need someone who can stand up to Donald Trump's odious agenda and position the party to take control of Congress in two years and the White House in four years. Mr. Ellison can be that leader.
