US Rep. Adriano Espaillat

"Expanding Hispanic representation is critical to winning back the House and delivering for our communities, and Manny has the vision, passion, and experience to get it done.
Manny’s story is the American story. Rooted in community, driven by hard work, and committed to ensuring no one is left behind, he understands the challenges facing working families.
From working minimum wage at McDonald’s to serving his community as a public servant…
Manny’s journey reflects the grit and determination that so many in Colorado’s 8th Distrcit deserve in Congress.”
- U.S. Rep. Adriano Espaillat NY-13
Gov. Martin O'Malley

“As President Biden’s Social Security Commissioner, I know that Social Security is a sacred promise that Americans have paid into for their entire working lives.
Manny Rutinel is a Social Security Champion.‍ ‍He will stand up to these curel-hearted attacks. He will fight, not only to restore the cuts to Social Security, but to extend the abiliy of Social Security to pay 100% of the benefits for the future.
Young and old alike have earned the benefit of Social Security, so Colorado’s 8th District deserves a champion who will fight for the lifeline that Social Security is for millions of people in Colorado.
Therefore, I’m proud to endorse Manny Rutinel for Congress."
-Martin O’Malley, former Commissioner of the Social Security Administration and former Governor of Maryland
Mayor Wellington Webb

“Manny Rutinel currently serves in the Colorado House of Representatives for District 32. I will be putting on my tennis shoes to help this qualified young man be elected for the 8th Congressional District seat. Raised by a single-mother, Manny in high school worked manual jobs and donated blood plasma to help pay the bills. Despite the challenges, he went on to graduate from John Hopkins University with a masters in economics and earn a law degree from Yale Law School. Manny speaks fluent Spanish and understands the great needs of a younger generation of Coloradans and those from all economic backgrounds. His voice is needed in Congress.”
-Wellington Webb, Former Mayor of Denver

Julia Marvin

“Manny has always been a champion for working families like mine—fighting for affordable housing, better jobs, and quality education. Manny listens to the community, understands our struggles, and actually delivers results. We need his leadership in Washington now more than ever!"
- Former Thornton City Council member and former State Representative
Rep. Elizabeth Velasco

“Manny Rutinel is a fighter for working families, clean air and water, and a future where every Coloradan has a fair shot. His leadership and lived experience make him the champion we need in Congress. I'm proud to support him!"
-Elizabeth Velasco, Colorado State Representative, District 57
