As an ER doctor, I cared for many people who had fallen through the cracks in our social safety net. I ran in 2016 for Multnomah County Commissioner not only to fix the net, but to prevent people from needing it in the first place.

During eight years as a county commissioner, I learned the processes, established the relationships, and partnered on policies for reform. Too often, politics intervened, leaving our most vulnerable residents, the people trying to serve them, neighborhoods and businesses to cope.

With time to reflect since leaving office, I created this website to share my insights on our biggest challenges, solicit your ideas, and figure out together how we can move forward. I invite you to join me!

In good health, Sharon Meieran, M.D., J.D.
