Shane Weaver
Shane is fighting for Alabama, America, and most importantly, YOU!
EARLY LIFE
Shane was born in Hamilton, Alabama to a family of coal miners and farmers. His grandfather, James "Shorty" Weaver and his father Ronnie "Cowboy" Weaver were both members of the UMWA and instilled in Shane the value of integrity, honesty, and a hard day's work. He was taught to always help others and respect everyone regardless of their color, religion, or the choices they make about their own lives.
Shane grew up in Nauvoo 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/or little pay.
In 1998, Shane moved to Tuscaloosa to attend the University of Alabama. During his time there, he worked 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 across all industries, 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. Through it all, Shane has always been passionate about politics. 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, help his state, and help his country.
Shane currently resides with his son in Northport, Alabama.
