Taylor Griggs' focus is primarily on local government and transportation-related news in Portland, Oregon. She covers topics such as labor news, small donor elections program, magic mushroom program, Governor Kotek's Central City Task Force plan, and the Japanese Garden.
Given Taylor's emphasis on government announcements and local issues in Portland, she may be particularly interested in receiving pitches related to developments or controversies within Portland city council candidates' campaigns or updates regarding state legislators specific to her geographic focus. Additionally, given the coverage attributes provided with a substantial portion dedicated to government announcement (55%), she might also appreciate insights from experts involved in these areas or those directly affected by these policies.
Pitches centered around efforts towards improving transportation infrastructure and addressing labor-related issues specific to the Portland area are likely to capture Taylor's attention.
