Chris Shoults

I am a husband of nearly thirty years to my wife (a small-business owner), a father to three sons in their twenties, and a career public-school educator at both the high school and college levels. Raised on a farm in Southeastern Wyoming, I learned work ethic, grit, welding, mechanic's skills, and stewardship early in life. As a first-generation college graduate, I hold two bachelor's degrees and one master's degree.

I live in Menifee and am a lifelong democrat who served in Wyoming on a city planning commission, as a governor's citizen appointee to a state education committee, and as a county political party chair. No stranger to leadership roles in education either, I have served my local union as an elected executive board member and as a bargaining team member since spring of 2021. Acutely aware of the issues in education, the constant rise in the cost of living, and the need to diversify economic development, I am ready to listen, roll up my sleeves, and get down to building a better tomorrow together. Common sense, respect and dignity for all, civil conversation, and real solutions to real problems are who I am.
