Supporters
One of Chris Coleman’s proudest accomplishments came in 2005, when with the active support of the largest coalition of progressive organizations, labor unions and elected officials in Saint Paul history, he was elected Saint Paul’s first DFL-endorsed mayor in 12 years. But that coalition didn’t end with that campaign — in fact, it had only just gotten started. In the seven years since that historic election, Chris Coleman has governed just as he ran: by making sure that everyone who wants to move Saint Paul forward has had a seat at the table.
In our campaign for reelection this year, Chris is once again proud to have the endorsement the individuals and organizations listed below.
