RENA MORAN TO RUN FOR COMMISSIONER

Posted

Ramsey County Commissioner Toni Carter, has announced her public endorsement of Representative Rena Moran in her run to succeed her as the next county commissioner. After providing nearly 17 years of dedicated service to the community Toni Carter has chosen to not seek reelection. As the first African American county commissioner in the history of the state, she has been a pioneer in fighting to improve outcomes for children, protect the environment, reform the criminal justice system, improve transportation infrastructure, and create new jobs and economic development.
“Rena will be a fantastic county commissioner for District 4 and all of Ramsey County. The leadership she has now will be a part of her ability to lift our voices. When I see a woman of color who has all of the credentials that Rena has, I stand behind her,” said Carter.
“For 12 years, I have worked in the Minnesota State House of Representatives and every day has been an honor and privilege to bring the voices of our community in. When commissioner Toni Carter decided to retire, I thought about the impact of the work that I do, the families, children, and community that mean so much to me, and I realized that I could not let this moment pass me by. I am coming home, I am coming home to Saint Paul, and coming home to the neighborhoods of Ramsey County to be closest to the people, closest to the needs, and closest to creating that change that I know I wanted to create at the Capitol,” said Moran. “I look forward to continuing to support the families, businesses, and people of Saint Paul on the Ramsey County Board and am truly honored to have Commissioner Carter’s endorsement.”
