The status-quo in St. Louis is not working for everyone now it is time to come together and create a St. Louis that works for all.
Megan Ellyia Green moved to St. Louis in 2005 to participate in the Coro Fellows Program in Public Affairs. Upon graduating, she taught middle school in St. Louis Public Schools, before transitioning into the nonprofit sector where she worked for Shalom House, Lemay Child and Family Center, and Childcare Aware of Missouri. Megan saw up close the real-world impact that policies and politics have on people, and saw how many people are being left out and left behind.
In 2014, Megan ran for office as the underdog candidate for Alderwoman of the 15th Ward. The St. Louis political establishment was aligned against her, but she won and took office as Alderwoman, representing the Tower Grove South, Tower Grove Heights, and Tower Grove East neighborhoods. She was re-elected by large margins in March 2015 and March 2017.
