Rep. Keith Ellison (D., Minn.) may be violating congressional rules barring lawmakers from using their social media accounts to promote their bids for party leadership positions, such as chair of the Democratic National Committee, which Ellison is currently vying for.
Ellison has been using his verified Twitter account to campaign for DNC chair, which sources argue is in violation of rules stating that official accounts cannot be used for campaign purposes.
