Tom Rukavina has a reputation as a straight talking, hard working and passionate advocate for what’s best for Minnesota:
“Campaigning. Rukavina is a campaign favorite of nearly everybody. His style is agressive, humorous, and engaging. If we could market the Rukavina style in a bottle, we would never lose.
“Win in November? I didn’t give a Rukavina Nov win much chance early on, but having seen the progress he has made in a short amount of time, I hesitate to count him out anymore. Given full party backing and enough resources to give that style a full state wide audience, who knows? Rukavina brings up Paul Wellstone in his talks to activists….and activists have made that comparison as well. Is this the type of year for that? I don’t know. But I’m leaning more to the side that Rukavina can pull it off.” – Dave Mindeman MNPact.org
“Rukavina is a classic, fiery DFLer – a blunt, working-class type who cares as much about children and schools as he does about labor issues – the kind that seems to be in short supply these days.” – City Pages, April 30, 2003
“Rukavina has been a constant voice of dissent against the Republican politics of fear and greed.” – City Pages, April 30, 2003
“Rukavina is the closest thing economic progressives have to a street fighter.” – MinnesotaBrown.com, August 11, 2009
“No one in St. Paul worked harder to address student concerns than Rep. Rukavina.” – Jacob Littler, Pres., Minnesota State College Student Association, Letter to Editor, Hometown Focus, June, 2009
“One of the sharpest minds. Perhaps the sharpest wit.” – Saint Paul Legal Ledger, June 4, 1999
“Relatively few of the 134 House members regularly engage in extended floor debate. Rukavina…stands out as a top practitioner. ‘Nobody’s better than Rukavina,’ said Bill Walsh, a staff aide to the Republican House caucus.” – St. Paul Pioneer Press, April 25, 1999
