I didn't decide to run for office because of politics. I decided to run because I've spent my life solving problems and standing up for people.

From growing up through times of profound social change, to advocating for civil rights, protecting vulnerable children, teaching the next generation, and raising a family here in Idaho, every chapter of my life has reinforced one belief: when you see a problem, you work to make things better.

For more than 25 years, I've fought for Idaho families—as a child welfare attorney, educator, nonprofit leader, and community advocate. Now, I'm ready to bring that same experience, compassion, and determination to the Idaho House.

I believe in strong public schools, accessible health care, the protection of individual freedoms, and the creation of opportunities for every Idaho family.

Most of all, I believe we make Idaho stronger when we work together. Pocatello, I'd be honored to earn your support for Idaho House Seat 29A this November.

We have just 90 days until Election Day: Tuesday, November 3, 2026.

90 days to reach every voter.

90 days to replace an incumbent who's failed to truly represent Pocatello.

90 days of work left to elect Mary Shea for Seat 29A in the Idaho House. Mary is a compassionate child welfare advocate, community powerhouse, defender of our freedoms, and the leader Pocatello deserves.

We have 90 days left to change the future. We can't waste a single one.

Chip in $90, $45, $25, or any amount today to help Mary Shea win—and make every day, and every dollar, count between now and Election Day. maryforidaho.com

I am running to fight for your freedom, fairness, families, and a return to responsible government.

After years of hard work on the ground in this community, on and off the campaign trail, I know what matters most to Pocatello.

Unfortunately, the Idaho statehouse doesn’t presently reflect those priorities. I will.

Today I attended a ribbon cutting for our friends at Aid For Friends and the dedication of our housing shelter in honor of the late great BJ Stensland, a Pocatello legend and force of nature who fought for dignity and a hand up for the folks in our community who need it the most.

I also want to give a shout out to County Commissioner Jeff Hough, pictured here in the orange, who gave a thoughtful and heartfelt dedication today.

I was pretty hard on Commissioner Hough last year when Bannock County cut its funding for Aid for Friends and other nonprofits, exactly at a time when the feds were also making tough cuts for housing programs. At the time the Commissioner expressed concern that this facility serves mainly transients “passing through” Pocatello, and he questioned the wisdom of the investment by the county.

The Commissioner got an earful from me and others who work with the vulnerable populations of Pocatello.

To his great credit, he listened. And he dug in. He connected. He grew. He learned. And today in front of Pocatello he publicly acknowledged that he was wrong before, and he sees the great value of community investment in organizations like this.

As he quoted Ted Lasso today, he got curious, not judgmental. And it turned him around.

So I want to recognize the Commissioner across party lines today. Good politics is about serving the people. And sometimes it is about digging in with an open mind, being willing to admit what you don’t know, and open to learning more to solve real problems for real people.

Events like today remind me why I’m fighting for Pocatello, and for all of Idaho. This is the kind of work I signed up for.

Stay curious. Not judgmental.
