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.

VISION FOR THE COMMUNITY

Shane Weaver has a strong vision for the community, centered around worker’s rights, financial security, and child safety. His desire for public service and promise of inclusivity make him the ideal candidate to represent the people of Alabama’s Congressional District Four.

MISSION STATEMENT

Shane Weaver’s mission is to empower the community by advocating for policies that promote equality, opportunity, and progress. Through active engagement and collaboration, he aims to address the pressing issues facing the district and create a brighter future for Alabama, and America.

WORKER RIGHTS

Shane Weaver is dedicated to protecting and expanding the rights of workers. Corporations have all the power and that has to change. Key issues Shane is focused on are:

Fair Wages: Every worker deserves a paycheck that reflects their hard work and allows them to support their family with dignity. No one working full-time should struggle to make ends meet.

Strong Unions: Unions are the backbone of worker power. They give employees a collective voice, protect their rights, and ensure that companies respect the people who keep them running.

Job Security: Workers deserve stability and peace of mind. A secure job means families can plan for their future, communities can thrive, and our economy can grow stronger for everyone.

child safety

Shane Weaver is driven to help and protect our children. Child safety will always be Shane’s number one priority. Key issues Shane is focused on are:

School safety: Every child deserves to learn in a safe and supportive environment. Parents should never have to worry about the security of their children at school. We MUST invest in stronger measures so schools are places of growth, not fear.

Enough food to eat: No child in our country should ever go hungry. A healthy meal is not a privilege - it’s a basic right. Ensuring that every student has access to healthy, reliable food allows them to focus on learning, not where their next meal will come from.

protection from predators: We must strengthen protections, enforcements, and awareness to keep predators away from our kids and give families peace of mind that their children are secure at home, school, and online.

financial security

Shane Weaver is determined to provide everyday people with financial relief and security. The government is fast to bail out corporations and the wealthy; now it’s time it served the people. Key issues Shane is focused on are:

Rising prices: Families everywhere are feeling the squeeze as the cost of literally everything continues to rise. We need policies that control prices and lower costs to ensure that basic goods and services are available to everyone.

Housing costs: Housing is a basic need, NOT a luxury. Too many families are being priced out of their homes. Shane will fight for fair housing policies, rent protections, and programs that make it possible for every family to have a safe, stable place to live.

Economic instability: Right now, too many people live with the constant stress of financial uncertainty.Shane will fight for policies that help families weather economic storms, build savings, and plan for the future.
