Rosetta Okohson’s political journey began when she was eight years old. From knocking doors for Kathleen Kelly Burkett with her mother and grandmother, Rosetta learned that good politics need to be built - that a candidate is only as good as the staffers supporting them, and even the best civic leaders need a team to see them over the finish line. That conviction has been at the core of every political campaign and electoral initiative that Rosetta has tackled since, along with a set of guiding progressive values. Though her career in organizing began in a deep red state, Rosetta refused to compromise on her beliefs that love is love, no human is illegal, reproductive rights are human rights, and that Black lives matter. Driven to action by the 2016 presidential election, Rosetta developed her own kind of consulting firm - one that would only work for clients and causes who shared her vision for a more equitable tomorrow. That firm, Meyers Okohson Political Consulting, has grown in the space of four years from a two-person operation working out of her apartment dining room to a full-service consulting group, one which represents clients at every level of elected office, and employs a staff of dozens. Over the course of the past three cycles, only five seats in the Missouri State House have flipped from red to blue - and Rosetta’s team was responsible for three of them. From consulting for organizations such as NARAL Pro-Choice Missouri to providing field solutions for Bernie Sanders’ presidential primary bid, Rosetta and M.O. Political have provided energy, enthusiasm, and holistic organizing experience that is second to none. Her firm has raised millions of dollars and knocked over 200,000 doors in the past cycle alone, culminating in the mayoral victory of Tishaura O. Jones in the City of St. Louis. True to her roots, Rosetta has remained dedicated to training and uplifting a new generation of professional political operatives through her work at M.O. Political. Internship and fellowship programs ensure that the passionate individuals who join her in doing the work will carry the skills they learn forward, and onto future campaigns and endeavors. Through it all, Rosetta has proven that it is possible to create success on the campaign trail and in the boardroom without compromising on the progressive values at the core of her mission.
