"Tina is smart, strategic, hard-working and incredibly effective, and has been an important ally and champion for Duluth and our region. Tina understands the importance of leading, listening, asking questions and then putting the pedal down to get things done."
Duluth Mayor Emily Larson
"Throughout my time in the legislature, I’ve known Tina Smith to be accessible and motivated to learn the issues facing Minnesotans of every age, race, religion, gender, and ethnicity. Tina Smith is a strong advocate for women, for immigrant and refugee families who are feeling extremely threatened in the current political climate, and she believes that every person deserves to see the economic benefits of a strong economy that works for everyone."
U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar
"I am proud to call Senator Smith my colleague and my friend. She is a progressive champion and a fearless advocate for our fundamental right to vote. We need Senator Smith in the Senate to stand up against attacks on voting rights and defend progressive values for all Minnesotans."
Dr. Josie Johnson
"As someone who represents the diverse communities of Saint Paul's East Side, my top priorities are economic equity, affordable housing, and job growth. I know Tina will fight hard to make progress for all Minnesota communities in the Senate."
State Senator Foung Hawj
"I am constantly impressed by Tina Smith's commitment to Minnesota kids and families. I am proud to call her a mentor and a friend."
