Megan Siffring was born and raised in Kailua, Hawai`i, but has proudly called Colorado home for the past 14 years. Her husband is an Aurora-born Coloradoan, and they chose to raise their daughters in this vibrant city. 

Since she was a child, Megan has always been justice-driven, and consequently outspoken about social issues. Growing up in Hawai`i, where natural resources are limited and revered, environmental concerns are also extremely important to her, and inherently intertwined.

She strives to do her part to help make the planet not only livable, but a thriving Mecca of opportunity for the next generation.
 

The diverse sociocultural climate in which Megan spent her formative years rooted in her a deep propensity to advocate for others, using her voice to amplify that of those in need of support. 
 

As an editorial journalist on her high school paper, Megan used her literary platform to speak up about local issues while simultaneously learning to convey thoughts and ideas in an organized, researched, and thoughtful manner.

As a songwriter for decades, she has sang against injustices through her music in the public arena.  

Through college and upon graduating from the Culinary Institute of the Pacific, Megan has worked in every food service and hospitality position she could get her hands on. The varied industry experiences filled her with even greater empathy and understanding for the challenges of the working class that she was a part of, and fueled her dedication to play a bigger part in the solutions.

In 2019, with her three-month-old first daughter in-tow, she fulfilled a lifelong dream and opened her first restaurant, right off of East Colfax in our neighboring city of Denver.

Before the COVID pandemic forced its closure, small business ownership and operation shed a tremendous light on the struggles facing entrepreneurs and consumers alike. Conversely, it exposed a beautiful new layer of community and local collaboration, further strengthening her love for connection and people. 

Navigating motherhood through a pandemic was no easy feat, but it taught her the depth of her resilience, extended her patience, and unlocked a new realm of creative problem solving. She is endlessly grateful to be able to help raise two kindhearted, strong, smart, thoughtful, and hilarious humans to share their bright light with the world.

​

In her free time, Megan enjoys spending time with her husband and their daughters, hiking through Colorado's many amazing trails, writing, listening to and playing music, gardening, road tripping to random places, swimming, thrifting, crafting, cooking, and baking. 

Megan is not a politician: she doesn’t believe that there should be a pyramid of power, only serving those at the top. She believes that we all deserve a say in the policies and procedures that directly impact our everyday lives.

We are at our strongest when we band together, and having someone represent the community *as* a fellow community member is the best way to ensure that *all* of our basic needs can be met.
