About Shane

I am running for public office to be your State Representative for House District 37. My interest in running for House District 37 began with the desire to increase my engagement in civic responsibilities as a citizen. 

I have led classes on the Constitution over the last couple of years and have learned that the only way to preserve the liberties of our communities, state, and country is to be civically engaged! House District 37 serves my hometown Grass Range, plus Winnett, Roy, Winifred, Hilger, Danvers, Brooks, and Lewistown. Additionally served are the Ayers Ranch Colony, Fords Creek Colony, Deerfield Colony, Spring Creek Colony, and King Ranch Colony. 

I'm a Central Montana native born in the St. Joseph’s hospital in Lewistown, raised on a ranch near Grass Range. I have significant interest in preservation of our rural way of life. Our future generation of civic leaders need current leaders to protect our freedoms from being stolen by forces working against their best interests.

I have a 31-year career of service with 9 years as a commissioned officer and pilot in the US army with 14-1/2 years in the Montana Army National Guard; 9 years as a

firefighting pilot in the USDA Forest Service; and 11 years as a law enforcement pilot in the US Customs and Border Protection. In those 31 years I have seen the government

operate and continuously grow. This must change if we wish to preserve our freedoms! Retiring in 2018, I moved home to Grass Range after gaining experience elsewhere for 38 years. I now take care of my dad’s ranch for the purpose of ensuring it remains in the family.

I have a few months to get to know everyone I will serve. I will put in the effort, but I need your help. I am happy to address any civic group you may belong to as an introduction to my candidacy to be your House District 37 Legislative Representative for the 2025 Montana Congressional Session. I will always consider it an honor and duty to serve you. Your support will never be taken for granted.
