“With Mr Raskin's background in higher education at American University, he brings exactly the bold and fresh leadership needed for Dirstrict 20 and Maryland,” Neal Carter, the President of the Montgomery College Democrats announced, saying that he knew Jamie “will make higher education a priority, not a political bullet point.”
The Montgomery College Dems endorsement followed the now-famous endorsement of Jamie by the Blair High School Silver Chips paper which described him as “the right choice for District 20,” praising his devotion to education and intense focus on the needs of his constituents.

“I am proud to know Jamie Raskin as a friend, a mentor, a brilliant mind, a progressive voice and a fighter for justice. He understands that public schools are the cornerstone of our great democracy and the Montgomery County Public School System is among the finest in the world. Jamie knows that we cannot take our public school system for granted. He will work tirelessly to ensure that all children have equal access to every opportunity to succeed. Jamie has worked to promote the rights of students and all people in our society who have been disenfranchised. Public service is a high calling and we are fortunate that Jamie Raskin has taken up the mantle. He will serve District 20 with distinction.”
Mrs. Thurgood Marshall calls Jamie "a champion of all our public schools"
 Jamie and Mrs. Thurgood Marshall
“Over the last seven years, Jamie has built a wonderful program that uses law students to teach high school students about our Constitution and Bill of Rights. I’m so proud of the Marshall-Brennan Constitutional Literacy Project and I know Justice Marshall, who grew up in Maryland and was devoted to education of all young people, would love it too. Jamie will make a great State Senator in Maryland and a champion of all our public schools because he is an inspiring teacher and a passionate leader for change in everything he does.”
