This is the official page of Shannon Singleton, Multnomah County District 2 Commissioner. I'm here on Bluesky to engage with my constituents and residents of Multnomah County. https://linktr.ee/shannonsingleton

This Thursday, the Multnomah County Board will discuss a resolution which lays out the terms for negotiating an agreement with the City of Portland on Moda Center Funding.

The Blazers home is in my district and you all know I'm a huge sports fan! My high school basketball self longed to soar like Clyde the Glide. I know many people, not just friends, whose life stories and jobs are intertwined with this storied franchise. Multnomah County needs to show up as a full partner and I am digging in to what it will take to move a moda center renovation forward.
image of Commissioner Singleton with a quote. The quote reads: State-funded violence through federal agents needs to end. This kind of immigration enforcement and ICE activity must stop. I know many people are scared right now. We have people dying in detention, agents killing people in the streets, and communities left devastated. My heart goes out to so many communities. The way that federal agents are behaving is unacceptable. I encourage folks to turn their outrage into action. In times like these, community is critical. To find ways to get engaged, volunteer, or find resources, check out my LinkTree, take MigraWatch training, learn where you can be helpful in supporting your local nonprofits serving immigrants and refugees, find opportunities to connect with your community, and find opportunities for joy.
I am sickened and angry about the escalating violence our community continues to suffer at the hands of this authoritarian federal regime and their ICE bullies. Time and time again, we take to our streets with non-violent protests only to be met with federally funded violence and physical harm. People in our communities are not escalating this violence, they are. The shooting of human beings is not acceptable. Enough is enough. ICE is not welcome here.

Picture of Chair Vega Pederson with text that reads "A lot of people talk about what it means to serve the public. Chair Vega Pederson has done so in action. During her time in the legislature, as a county Commissioner, and as Chair, she always aimed to help families. As another woman of color, I thank her for her service and giving so much to support the community. I wish her well in whatever she decides to do next."
A message from Commissioner Singleton. On Thursday, November 6th, several schools in North Portland went into lockdown due to I.C.E kidnapping and heightened presence in the area. This led to fear, confusion, and community coming together.

I am looking to do what I can to bolster the systems in our county and region to ensure that Multnomah County residents are fed. The specific systems I am looking at include: advocating for funding to the Oregon Hunger Response Fund (OAR 461.192); allocating local funds to the Oregon Food Bank and/or the Partners for a Hunger-Free Oregon to distribute to smaller organizations and pantries; and, in the long term, find solutions that support our County’s farmers, community gardens, and local markets to better address pervasive and consistent food insecurity in our community.
