“I am thrilled to endorse Marcus Mills to become the next Ward 3 City Council Member. I have worked with him for years and know that his ability to listen carefully, think strategically, and find common ground are needed now if our city is to thrive.

Marcus has a proven track record and years of dedicated service supporting grassroots democracy and community empowerment; racial equity; social justice; and sustainability. He is an outstanding candidate who is ready and able to do the work to ensure that Ward 3 and Minneapolis can meet the challenges it faces now and in the years to come.”

“Marcus’s commitment and tireless advocacy for environmental justice is just one example of actions matching words. For years, Marcus has engaged with his community and has been a strong anchor during tough times. I believe that Marcus has the right vision and experience - it is without a doubt that he would be a great leader for Ward 3!”

“I have known Marcus as a community organizer and brilliant policy advocate for years. I know that as a council member, Marcus will bring people together for solutions that help our communities thrive for years to come.”

"We need a council that is committed to moving our city forward in terms of racial equity and environmental sustainability. Marcus is a candidate who will work hard for these aims."

“I’ve worked with Marcus Mills on climate and clean energy policy issues for the past 10 years. Marcus is one of the most thoughtful and strategic thinkers, with a deep knowledge of and dedication to issues of racial justice and equity. He’s a collaborator who always asks great questions and seeks a win-win. He’d be a great voice for Ward 3.”

“When Environmental Justice is a community priority, the health of the community improves. Marcus Mills understands the importance of Environmental Justice.”

“I’ve worked with Marcus for many years now through neighborhood associations and environmental advocacy groups. He is a tireless advocate for community and environmental justice and would be great in City Hall.”

“Before meeting Marcus Mills, others would refer to him as a sharp, intelligent, and dedicated change agent. Once I began working with him on social justice campaigns, I quickly saw how his reputation preceded him. Marcus has a deep knowledge of the policies needed to create and protect the healthy communities we deserve, and most importantly, is ready and able to do the work of turning those ideas into reality. I trust Marcus to fight for community needs if elected to City Council and believe his visionary insight and dedication to this work would be a huge win for Ward 3 and our City.”

“Marcus roots his work in partnership with a wide range of community organizations focused on racial and economic justice and people-focused climate and energy solutions. Combined with his deep familiarity with City policy and process, Marcus is ready for the hard work it takes to turn our communities' progressive visions into a reality in Minneapolis.”

“In my role as an environmental advocate, I’ve worked with Marcus in a few spaces: in a coalition for inclusive financing of energy efficiency, on democratizing our energy production, and on creating meaningful environmental protections for frontline communities. He has an impressive depth of knowledge of lawmaking and governance – but also recognizes that have yet to build a real, strong democracy that includes everyone. I believe he would bring real representation and progressive change to Ward 3, unlike its current leadership.”

“If you get energy right, other community needs can be achieved because you have the energy. Marcus Mills understands how to get energy right.”
