"Linda Rosenthal has worked to strengthen the neighborhoods of this district for over 25 years, and has been intimately involved in every major community issue that this district has faced in that time. Her career of public service, including work for over a decade as my Manhattan District Director, has given her the experience and know-how to represent this community in Albany better than anyone else."
- US Congressman Jerry Nadler

"Today is an exciting day for the West Side and for progressive Democrats all over New York. In Linda we have a nominee that will fight for the issues we all care about – from tenant's rights to a woman's right to choose – and will take up the mantle of reform with all the passion she has brought to our community for all of these years."
- Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer

"Linda's work in the campaign to defeat the West Side Stadium proposal was essential to our success and our efforts to preserve key resources for our schools and public transit system. We need her to take that kind of fight to the State Capital to bring needed resources back to our City."
- NYC Council Speaker Christine Quinn

"I am thrilled at the prospect of having such a great progressive partner and another independent voice in Albany."
- NYS Senator and Deputy Minority Leader Eric Schneiderman

"I've worked with Linda on so many issues throughout the years. Whether she's fighting for more affordable housing, better schools, or responsible development, Linda is known for getting results."
- NYC Council Member Gale Brewer
