The Honorable Shawnna LM Bolick is no stranger to the inner workings of local, state, and federal government. While attending graduate school, she worked on Capitol Hill for former U.S. Senator Rick Santorum and as a policy researcher at The Heritage Foundation.

After she completed graduate school, she moved to Austin, Texas, to work for then-Lieutenant Governor Rick Perry on a high tech committee. In 2015, Bolick was appointed by Governor Doug Ducey and confirmed by the State Senate to serve on Arizona’s Early Childhood Education and Health Board. With her strong interest in our state’s academic standards, she is also a past member of the Arizona State Board of Education’s Academic Standards Development Committee as a public high school parent.

Bolick was elected to her first term in the Arizona House of Representatives representing Legislative District 20 in November 2018 and re-elected in 2020. In 2021, Governor Ducey appointed Bolick to the Arizona Juvenile Justice Commission as a member from the legislature. Bolick had a successful legislative portfolio and service to the state in her four years as a representative.

In July 2023, Shawnna was appointed to fill a Senate vacancy in Legislative District 2.

Shawnna and her family reside in Phoenix, Arizona, with their three greyhounds.
