I’m Shelby, and I’ve been Ruth’s List’s political fellow since 2023 while pursuing dual degrees from Florida State University — a Master’s and Bachelor’s degree in Political Science with a minor in International Affairs.
This isn’t my first time stepping into Florida Politics. I’ve served members in the Florida House and have worked on a couple campaigns before coming to Ruth’s List. But my passions are supporting women’s rights, criminal justice reform, and environmental advocacy.
That’s why I joined Ruth’s List — to help elect local and statewide pro-choice women to office. And I’ve learned so much. But this fellowship only exists because of people like you, John.
• I work with our political director to recruit, vet, and endorse high-powered women candidates across the state
• I track elections and candidates in battleground regions of our state
• I provide staff and volunteer support to Ruth’s List-endorsed candidates (at no cost to them!)
We’re powering a movement that will change the direction of our state — and it wouldn’t be possible without supporters like you. Every dollar you give ensures that young organizers like me can gain invaluable experience, contribute to real change, and continue fighting for our mission for years to come.
Thanks for believing in us and helping keep these critical opportunities open for the next generation.
