Education: “As a third-generation Nevadan and almost born at a UNLV Runnin’ Rebels basketball game, Shea truly understands that “Home Means Nevada.” From attending Kindergarten to Twelfth Grade in the Clark County School District to owning a small business, Shea understands that representing her community is more important than playing politics.”
(Campaign website) Economy & Cost of Living: “From her youth through the present, Shea believes part of our American experiment is being a good citizen. Shea has a long record of giving back to her community and others. As a small business owner, Shea understands what it takes to provide good jobs and understands the challenges of our small businesses with growing costs.”
(Campaign website) Healthcare: “From personal life experiences, Shea understands the importance of access to health care. With Shea’s parents and in-laws aging, Shea recognizes the need for community and families to support our aging population. This also includes the need to insure our seniors are safe from those desiring to take advantage of them.”

Families & communities: “I'm running for State Assembly District 37 because I'm deeply concerned about the future of Nevada and the families, seniors, veterans and children who call it home. Our community deserves leaders who truly understand the everyday challenges we face: skyrocketing costs, taxation, underperforming schools, declining public safety, barriers to business, lack of government transparency, attainable housing and health care that has become out of reach for far too many families.”
