John Choi

"There has never been a less equivocal endorsement in my life than my endorsement of John for County Attorney.  John is going to be an exceptional County Attorney just as he has been an exceptional City Attorney."

- Mayor Chris Coleman

"I'm proud to endorse John Choi for Ramsey County Attorney because he has a proven record of leadership in improving the criminal justice
system and ensuring public safety. I look forward to working with him as the next Ramsey County Attorney"

- Attorney General Lori Swanson

“John Choi knows that if you are going to solve a problem within a community, you have to bring the people who are affected by the problem into being a part of the solution.”

- Shelley Johnson Cline, Battered Women’s Advocate

"John has already learned how to lead public lawyers; he’s done that in the City Attorney’s Office.  He’s managed skillfully, he’s hired, he’s challenged, he’s inspired, and sometimes he has had to discipline people.  It’s a real advantage for the next Ramsey County Attorney to have that kind of public sector legal experience.  John Choi will hit the ground running."

- Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman

“We know John has a track record of going in and getting the best out of the people he has and he also has a track record of treating his people - AFSCME members - with dignity and respect.  And frankly if you want a class-A organization, you need class-A employees and you need a person to treat those class-A employees as such.” 

- John Ewaldt, Ramsey County Child Support Enforcement Agent & President of AFSCME Local 8

"I endorse John Choi because he is simply the best qualified candidate to lead the Ramsey County Attorney's Office. His experience as the Saint Paul City Attorney and his accomplishments in office are exactly what I want in a chief prosecutor for the second largest county in the State of Minnesota."

- Former Judge Miles Lord

“John is just a genuine guy.  He is the kind of person that all elected officials should strive to be -- smart, compassionate, innovative, but most of all, John has the most integrity of anyone I've ever met." 

- Kathleen Murphy

“I support John because he has proven that he can lead.  His work reflects a deep understanding of the word justice – recognizing that it includes supporting victims, intervening in young lives, educating the public, and punishing offenders.  He will be a wonderful advocate for our community and a strong voice for public safety as the next Ramsey County Attorney. “ 

-  Attorney Julie Perrus

“John is a team player.  He approaches criminal justice from a 360-degree perspective. John works with stakeholders to develop innovative solutions to give cities and counties the tools they need to prevent crime and make their communities safer.”

- Senator Mee Moua, chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee
