"I support Jamie for state house because we need more organizers and advocates in the state legislature! Jamie has the right values and knows what it takes to build effective progressive coalitions. He will be a true partner in the fight to create opportunity for kids and families.” State Representative Peggy Flanagan endorsing Jamie Long for State House.

Great talking to neighbors and running into friends at the East Harriet Neighborhood Fall Fest! — with Brian Nalezny, Campaign Co-Chairs Linea Palmisano and Lisa Bender.

Thanks for your support, Councilmember Elizabeth Glidden! "Jamie Long is a 'get it done' leader with strong progressive roots. He keeps his cool and helps others around him be the best they can be (so important!). He's worked on big picture policy and community problem solving. He is putting his name out there should Paul Thissen not seek reelection. I enthusiastically support Jamie!"

Thanks for Co-Chairing my campaign, Senator Scott Dibble, and for your endorsement! "I’m supporting Jamie because he’s fantastic. Folks might know that I come from the front lines of the movement for social change, economic justice, and progress; fighting for our democracy, and an economy that works for as many people as possible. Those values are under attack in our country. Jamie has been a big part of building this movement over the course of many years -- both in his own capacity as a community leader and in the amazing work that he does as Keith Ellison's state director." State Senator Scott Dibble, Senate District 61

"Jamie is running for the right reasons and has the right vision for the job. Success in the Legislature comes through teamwork and partnerships, and he has already proven himself as a team-building and a true progressive partner. Jamie will be a true champion on critical issues of voting rights, climate action and clean energy. I’m proud to support him." former State Representative Jeremy Kalin

"Jamie is one of the most genuine, hard working, and dedicated people I know. He will be a tireless advocate for our community in the legislature and I am proud to endorse him!" Darlynn Benjamin, 61B resident and former District Director for Congressman Keith Ellison.

Beautiful day at the Fulton Fall Festival! Congrats to the organizers on a terrific event! — with Campaign Co-Chair and Ward 13 City Councilmember Linea Palmisano.

“Jamie is an effective, proven progressive leader. In his role for Keith Ellison, we’ve worked closely together to make Minneapolis a more equitable city for working families. I know he will be a great partner in the state legislature, and has what it takes to achieve policy results that improve people’s lives.” — with Lisa Bender - Minneapolis City Council Ward 10.

“Jamie is an environmental leader, with a deep understanding of what it will take to move us off of dirty energy. He’s worked hard to bring community solar to Southwest Minneapolis, and I know he’ll bring that same work ethic and vision to the State Capitol.” Mark Andrew, former Chair of the Hennepin County Board of Commission and former Chair of the Democratic-Farmer-Labor party. In 2007, Andrew founded GreenMark, an environmental marketing firm.

"Jamie knows the power of grassroots organizing, and has deep ties to community groups and local and state leaders. On day one, he’ll have what it takes to build strong, diverse coalitions around progressive values." Honored to have the endorsement of Representative Frank Hornstein, campaign co-chair.

Thank you to Linea Palmisano for Ward 13 for this endorsement! "Jamie is a leader of our community, who doesn't shy away from difficult conversations. I've seen him in action and relied on his talent to find a way forward in challenging times, keeping neighbors focused on their common values. I believe he can do the same in the House of Representatives."
