Shannon Marshall was recently promoted to Chief Operating Officer. Shannon joined Lake Research Partners in 2007 to manage all qualitative and quantitative research for the firm. Originally from Texas, Shannon brought with her a combination of political media, voter file, and campaign experience. Since her political career started, she has been on the ground for 20-plus campaigns on every level, from local elections to Presidential campaigns. In addition, she has been a contributing researcher for writers such as Kirsten Powers (columnist for the New York Post and regular guest host on Hannity and Colmes) and political adviser, Jamal Simmons.

One of Shannon’s "not-so-proud" moments came when she decided to go to a party for a retiring senator at the 2004 DNC, rather than hear some guy named BARACK OBAMA give his keynote address. In her free time, Shannon stays busy being an active board member for the Hoop Dreams Scholarship Fund, traveling with her husband, enjoying college football on Saturdays, and rooting for the Cowboys on Sundays. Shannon holds a B.A. and a Master’s degree in Public Administration specializing in Policy Analysis, from Texas Tech.
