Hello friends and supporters! As I’m recovering from surgery, I could use your help. Some of my fellow Labor-endorsed candidates are doorknocking in my area and if any of you could help by knocking and handing out my lit, I would appreciate it!

also when ward 2 credentials committee voted to throw out the votes of more than 80 delegates for indicating support for robin wonsley, even though john wall is a member of that committee and lives outside the city of minneapolis yet had influence on throwing out actual residents' votes. misconduct!

Eli Sherman @elitalksmpls.bsky.social · 8d

I feel like I’m becoming the joker listening to this “all votes needs to be counted” when this whole thing is throwing out the votes of soooooo many delegates.

This is beyond atrocious. We have no room for this hate in Minneapolis. PACs who have been stirring up this sort of distrust and division by calling Sen. Fateh corrupt and worse need to understand who their rhetoric feeds.

We are beyond thrilled to announce Jason’s endorsement by @ilhanmn.bsky.social ! As the Congresswoman representing Mpls, Ilhan has shown that she’ll fight for the residents of our city. Like Ilhan, Jason is committed to ensuring that our parks work alongside our schools, city and federal government.

Picture of Ilhan Omar alongside the quote “I’m thrilled to endorse Jason Garcia for Park Board District 4. Our parks are not just beautiful, they are spaces that should be accessible to all, that offer programming for youth, where neighbors can hold livable wage jobs, and so much more. I know Jason is committed to that vision and I can’t wait to work alongside them to make that vision a reality.”
