Shayne brings extensive experience in conservative politics and campaign operations. He has worked as a political consultant on gubernatorial, state legislative, congressional, and local races across the country. Well-regarded in national conservative circles, Shayne has been a consistent presence at Mar-a-Lago, supporting President Trump and many of his endorsed candidates. He has coordinated security operations and provided executive protection for high-profile conservative figures and events nationwide. In Virginia, he served as a Senior Legislative Aide and Senior Advisor in the State Senate. Since 2020, Shayne has been deeply involved in election integrity efforts across the country.
A veteran himself, Shayne channels his service into empowering fellow veterans to ensure their voices shape America’s future. Under his leadership, the Virginia Chapter will expand initiatives including town-hall events, voter education programs, precinct-level organizing, and targeted outreach to deliver strong Republican results at every level of the ballot. Shayne will also support and bring in law enforcement and first responders to our cause. One of his main focuses will be on interviewing and recruiting good candidates for office from the local to state level and putting the voting power of our veterans, law enforcement, and first responders into action to get these good candidates elected.
“Shayne’s proven track record in winning strategies, commitment to the mission at all costs, and ensuring campaign safety speaks volumes,” said Stan Fitzgerald and Jared Craig from Veterans for America First. “He understands the stakes—from the ballot box to the broader political battlefield—and we are honored to have him leading our efforts in Virginia.”
Shayne stated: “I am deeply honored to earn this trust and to advance our shared America First agenda both nationally and here in Virginia. Over the years, I’ve traveled the country securing candidates and turning plans into votes. Now, in Virginia, I look forward to building out our chapter and mobilizing veterans, law enforcement, and first responders to get good candidates elected. Together we can have a profound impact on legislation in Richmond and elections in Virginia. It’s time we start electing and supporting legislators that work for the people in the districts they serve, with legislation that directly improves everyday lives in the places they live, work, and raise their families. I look forward to demonstrating the decisive impact united veterans and the first responder community can have on successful conservative elections.”
