A Few Words About Me

Randi Shannon for Senate

My name is Randi Shannon and it would be an honor to serve as your State Senator.

I was born December 1967 in Iowa City, Iowa.  First of all, I consider myself incredibly blessed to raise my four boys that range from ages 12 to 23.  I am a co-owner of Iowa Glass, Inc. and Iowa Auto Glass IowaAutoGlass in Cedar Rapids, and I also operate several Internet entities including

and others. 

My ventures in business have taken us from coast to coast over the years but we were fortunate to come home to Iowa.  I was a Regional Vice President with ACN Communications which took us to Florida for a few years and prior to that I was a Senior Director with Excel Communications located in Dallas Texas. 

I've been a homeschool mom.  I believe that education is of high importance and I will work hard at the local level with parents and the government to ensure the best education for Iowans. 

I come from a family that served proudly in the military.   I believe in the preservation of the 2nd Amendment.   It clearly is not just about hunting.  I know having guns to protect ourselves, our loved ones and our property, means America remains a free country!

I have spent the last 15 years in the business world and know very well what it takes to thrive, especially in a down economy.  I am committed to fighting for lower taxes, responsible spending, and the best education choices for our children.

I will work to keep and preserve our Constitutional rights, all of them.

I am a hard-working, dedicated entrepreneur, not a career politician.  My entrance into politics is indicative of my life’s work:  a desire to tackle problems and provide practical solutions.

I’m also an avid bike rider, having completed two full Ragbrai weeks, I'm a Hawkeye fan and enjoy spending time outdoors with my family.

Whether Independent, Libertarian, Republican or Democrat, I ask for your vote, in return I will fight for Iowan's to live a more free and prosperous life.   I am the State Senate nominee for Senate District 34.
