As a long-time Lowry Hill resident, I've seen our district consistently send great leaders to the state legislature. I'm supporting Marion Greene for State Representative because I believe she has the right blend of progressive ideals and pragmatic solutions to carry on that leadership. I see her as a Wellstonian Democrat -- with the background and financial chops to tackle the state's budget crisis.

In these difficult times Minneapolis needs a strong, diplomatic voice to work with our new governor. Marion's expertise with health care and her passion for education and fair taxation make her the ideal Legislator for us. I am proud to support her.
- Scott Graham, 60a resident and CIDNA neighbor.
I support Marion because she is an advocate for single-payer health care. She is a Paul Wellstone progressive we can trust to be an advocate for the needs of the poor, the disabled, the elderly, and our children.
- Robin Lundy, 60a resident and Loring Park neighbor
I support Marion because she will bring excellent fiscal skills, a strong commitment to budgeting, a sense of fairness in taxing, and a humane perspective to government! She is an influencer-- and effective because she listens first, and builds answers later.
- Jean Thomson, 60a resident and Kenwood neighbor
I first got to know Marion when we worked together at Guidant Corporation (now Boston Scientific). Marion successfully led many complex projects that required significant resources. Her consensus building not only delivered great results but also inspired her team. This is why I believe her talents and her leadership will serve our district well.
- Melissa Berning, 60a resident and Uptown neighbor
I have gotten to know Marion over the past few months and have been very impressed. She is a leader who cares deeply about our community. She has the background, commitment, and passion to be an effective voice in St. Paul.
- Jacob Millner, 60a resident and Loring Park neighbor
I support Marion because she is committed to improving our education system. Considering all the proposed budget cuts, we need someone who will work to ensure that all students have access to and are provided with a high quality education.
- Eleanor Perschin, 60a resident and Lakes neighbor
Marion offers a refreshing perspective to the 60a seat. While she understands and supports the role of neighborhoods in Minneapolis, Marion isn’t mired in politics. She is honest and straightforward, and she’ll fight hard on behalf of our progressive goals, goals so important to the future of Minnesota.
- Pat Scott, 60a resident and neighbor, former School Board Director and City Council member
When I made the choice to support Marion Greene, I was looking for a candidate who could get things done. Since I agree with most if not all of the DFL slate's values and positions, I focus on leadership ability. A Representative must be able to collaborate and build consensus. Marion is that candidate.
