John,
I noticed you haven’t added your name yet and wanted to make sure you saw this.
The fossil-fuel industry’s campaign of deception has harmed communities across our state for far too long. It’s time to hold them accountable.
Thank you!

John,
When corporations break the law and hurt people, it’s my job and my duty to have your back.
For decades, the fossil-fuel industry’s fraud, misleading advertising, and violations of state law and common law have harmed our state’s health, environment, infrastructure, and economy.
Companies like Koch Industries and ExxonMobil knew their products were harmful, and they had a duty to tell us. Instead, they led a campaign of deception that hurt our state and left us with massive costs.
The fossil-fuel industry has gotten away with too much for far too long. That’s why I announced this week that I am suing to hold them accountable.
Koch Industries and ExxonMobil profited off of avoiding accountability for decades. They deceived, lied, and misrepresented the effects of their product to the public to protect their bottom lines.
Our suit asks the court to order these companies to use their wrongfully-gained profits to help pay for the damage they’ve caused.
Thank you,
Keith Ellison
