Attorney General Keith Ellison has named Dana Mitchell as deputy attorney general, the Attorney General’s office said in a news release.
Mitchell will step into the role left by Deputy Attorney General Luz María Frías, who is retiring on Sept. 29 after a 30-year career in the law, public service, and community service, including the last three years with the Attorney General’s Office. Mitchell will oversee the Government Support Section of the Office, which provides legal support to a wide range of Minnesota agencies, boards, and commissions.
“Dana, a Minnesotan with deep roots here, is deeply committed to the people of our state,” Ellison said in a statement. “She is smart, capable, and an excellent lawyer, of course, and she is much more: she is someone who works relationally, is an active member of community, understands the importance of representing State agencies well, and applies an equity lens to everything that we do.”
