Jim and Danna have been married for 15 years and have two daughters, Micah Jo (9) and Jadah (6), whom they homeschool. The Shaw family moved to Chandler in 2021 to provide their girls with the experience of raising animals and roaming free in the woods. They actively attend First Baptist Church Wellston and are involved in various extracurricular activities for their girls. Jim has had a rewarding professional life. In 2003, as an undergraduate, Jim took an internship with Chesapeake Energy and continued to work there upon graduation. In the fall of 2012, Jim left Chesapeake and eventually became co-owner and partner of Land Information Services (LIS) where, as President and COO, he facilitated in pioneering new software technology for the industry. Jim was selected as an honoree to Hart Energy’s E&P+ 40 Under Forty list. In 2022, Jim and his business partner sold LIS to PakEnergy, where Jim currently leads more than 80 employees.
Jim was raised in a conservative household and is focused on passing those values on to his daughters.- The three core tenants to my campaign are Land, Livelihoods and Legacies. I am running to protect and preserve the Land we have all worked so hard for, maintaining the quiet, peaceful, rural way of life and ensuring this district is in a better place for our children and grandchildren to raise their families.
- The tax payer subsidized "green energy" agenda is attacking rural America. This huge land grab is destroying our agriculture and ranching communities, our overall way of life and working to eradicate the oil and gas industry. I aim to put a stop to this and fight for the best interests of the constituents in HD32 as opposed to big corporate special interests.
- The inefficiency and waste at our state capitol is at an all-time high. We need true conservative, servant-oriented leadership that actually works for the people of Oklahoma, not the other way around. We need to stop spending money we don't have for outcomes we don't want.

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
