Episode 59: Shannon Singleton, Multnomah County D2 Commisioner and candidate for county chair

In episode 59, we welcome back Shannon Singleton to the pod who is currently representing District 2 in Multnomah County and running for county chair. Shannon is uniquely qualified for chair given her history working on the forefronts of human centered services, equitable leadership, and finding commonalities across disparate viewpoints. We discuss her experiences as commissioner these past two years and her vision for a revamped county government including transparent and accountable budgeting, thoughtful and expansive services for those in need, building better relationships with governmental peers and how to build a far better culture within Multnomah county which has seen drastic cuts, chaotic leadership, and low morale.And why a Philly mindset is exactly what we need in Portland to get shit done.Please support Shannon here https://www.shannonsingleton.org/ and rank her first if not only for Multnomah County Chair.
