WHO WE ARE.

(pronouns- she/her)
A 45-year Portland resident is the Principal of Prosparus, a marketing and strategy consultancy specializing in moving food and beverage businesses to their next level of prosperity. She was born and raised in Portland and watched it grow into the 28th largest city in the U.S. Shannon believes we are very long overdue for more diverse and inclusive representation given that for decades City Council has been largely filled with white men from SW and NW Portland with little to no representation for residents in SE, NE, or N Portland. She invites all of us to vote on November 8 to bring Portland into a brighter and more inclusive future.
