Shane grew up and went to school in Carbon Hill, graduating in 1991. After high school, he worked jobs at a grocery store and sewing plant in Carbon Hill, a door manufacturer in Haleyville, and a convenience store in Jasper. These jobs taught him firsthand the struggles of working long, hard hours with little respect and little pay.
In 2001, Shane attended the University of Alabama, working multiple jobs to put himself through college. In 2005, he graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Management Information Systems. Since graduating, he has worked as a Project Manager for companies and clients around the globe.
Shane knows, firsthand, the hopelessness of poverty, the struggles of minimum wage work, and the despair of feeling like you'll never get your head above water. He believes the government exists to serve the people, not control them. He also believes the government should be more focused on providing help to the many that need it, rather than padding the pockets of the rich.
Shane is a true representation of the people of Alabama: a hard worker that wants to help his neighbor, his state, and his country.- My primary commitment: protecting our children. Child safety is my top priority. Every child deserves the chance to grow, learn, and thrive without fear. I believe schools must be safe, supportive environments where parents are confident their children are protected and can focus on learning, not security. This is why we must invest in effective, common-sense school safety measures.
I am equally committed to ensuring no child goes hungry. Access to healthy, reliable food is a basic right, and children cannot succeed if they are worried about their next meal.
I support strong protections against predators by supporting tough enforcement, greater accountability,and increased awareness to keep children safe at home, school, and online. - I am dedicated to protecting and expanding the rights of workers. Corporations hold far too much power, and that has to change. I believe every worker deserves fair wages that reflect their hard work and allow them to support their families with dignity—no one working full time should struggle to get by. I strongly support unions as the backbone of worker power, giving employees a collective voice and ensuring companies respect the people who keep them running. I also prioritize job security, because stable work gives families peace of mind, strengthens communities, and builds a stronger, more sustainable economy for everyone.
- I am determined to provide everyday people with real financial relief and security. For too long, the government has rushed to bail out corporations and the wealthy; it’s time it truly served the people. Families are being squeezed by rising prices. We need policies that lower costs and make basic goods and services affordable for everyone. Housing is a basic need, not a luxury, and I will fight for fair housing policies, rent protections, and programs that ensure every family has a safe, stable place to live. I am also committed to addressing economic instability by supporting policies that help families weather financial shocks, build savings, and plan confidently for the future.
