"Bob Long shares my vision for St. Paul, including bringing the prosperity we have seen downtown out to the neighborhoods and investing in affordable housing, transportation and good jobs", said Miller. "We need to be partners with the public schools and social service agencies and I see that Bob has the ability to develop these coalitions," added Miller.

"Bob has a plan that is committed to diversity as represented by his co-chairs, school board members Gilbert de la O and Neal Thao, and community leaders such as Fred Perez and Ora Lee Patterson", said Miller. "I want to help Bob develop his community priorities to ensure that we are including all of our residents and making St. Paul a great city for all of us," added Miller.

One of our first projects will be to develop a partnership between the city, the school district, and our community organizations to keep our school and neighborhood recreation centers open after school so our children have access to tutors, computer labs, and other positive educational opportunities”, added Long.
