Rep. Ellison promotes maintaining peace and security in the United States and abroad as one of his primary tenets and he has debated the wisdom of fighting unnecessary wars. He has served on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, which oversees U.S. diplomatic and national security interests throughout the world. Rep. Ellison opposed the U.S.’s entrance into the Iraq War and has called for the end to the war in Afghanistan. The Congressman strives to support Congressional actions affecting U.S. relationships with foreign governments to show respect for the individual and a commitment improving life for all people. 

These goals influence Rep. Ellison’s positions on free trade and fair trade policy in the global economy.  Keith emphasizes the importance of promoting democratic values along with economic growth, which requires us to determine whether or not the commerce activity in question will improve the quality of life for the citizens of each nation.
