Support for Shannon

Louie Porta, CEO
"As President and CEO of the Atlantic Salmon Federation, Louie helps champion and implement policies to ensure a strong future for the species. This builds on his work as Executive Director of Oceans North, Canada's leading oceans charity, where he helped secure new coastal protection, as well as his time advising the International Institute of Sustainable Development. His endorsement is a strong attestation to Shannon's leadership and commitment to managing coastal cities like Halifax. We are excited to have Louie standing behind Shannon’s campaign! "

Ashley Jones, Business Owner
"As a longtime party volunteer, Management Consultant for Global Inc, and Executive Coach, Chris has shown a dedication to the Halifax community and used politics to help create a more resilient future for the city. We are excited to have Chris standing behind Shannon’s campaign!"

Rochelle Owens, Consultant
"I have witnessed Shannon’s leadership and commitment to the sustainability and climate field through our connections at University and in the community."

Gavin Pitchford, Executive Director
"No one in Canada is better qualified to represent the interests of Haligonians than Shannon. In fact in 2022, after an exhaustive cross-Canada search, we identified her as the single best person in Canada for driving sustainability within a municipality. She’s proven she can get important stuff done, and will be a critical voice for the city, once in parliament."

Savannah Dewolfe, Liberal organizer
"Shannon is exactly the kind of leader that the Liberal Party needs to attract right now. She’s someone who can bring the progressive vote together, who represents the future of the Party."

Richard MacLellan, Managing Director
"I am 1000 % behind Shannon entering the Liberal nomination race. Shannon was my first hire when I was asked to build the my team. Her positive energy, competency, and fire was infectious. She elevated us. What she did with the climate change file was transformational. I cannot imagine a better representative for Halifax, all of us, right now. Her values, her energy, her fire, and her competency are unbelievable. She is the leader we need."

Lorelei Nicoll, former Liberal MLA, Cole Harbour-Dartmouth
"I have come to know Shannon Miedema over many years as an HRM Councillor. It was evident to both of us that Shannon and I shared a passion for environmental sustainability. Nominating Shannon as your Liberal Candidate for Halifax will ensure her years of dedicated passion for the environment and for the people of Halifax will continue as your MP."
