When you dedicate your whole life to saving others, service doesn’t end when the uniform comes off.
My name is Chris Shea.
I joined the Navy in 1991 because I believed service was something you lived, not something you talked about. That decision shaped the rest of my life.
I started as a hospital corpsman - treating the wounded, learning early that leadership means responsibility when lives are on the line.
That path led me to Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL training and into Naval Special Operations, serving alongside some of the best Americans this country has ever produced.
I deployed where I was needed.
I led under pressure.
I learned that excuses don’t matter, outcomes do.
After over three decades in uniform, I wasn’t done serving.
I continued my career as a firefighter — because when your neighbors need help, you don’t walk away.
And when I saw too many highly trained veterans struggling to find their next mission, I founded Hero to Hero — giving highly qualified service members a path to continue serving their communities as first responders.
Service isn’t a phase.
It’s a lifelong commitment.
That’s why I’m running for Congress.
This campaign is my next mission — and I won’t pretend it’s easy. The political machine is powerful, well-funded, and perfectly happy with the status quo.
But I’ve never backed down from a fight worth having.
If you believe Congress needs fewer politicians and more people who’ve actually served…
If you believe leadership means ownership…
Then I’m asking you to stand with me at the very beginning.
This campaign only works if patriots like you step up now.
