Shannon Stubbs (born December 8, 1979) is a Canadian politician who was elected to represent the riding of Lakeland in the House of Commons of Canada in the Canadian federal election, 2015.
Shannon was born near Chipman, Alberta in 1979. She is the granddaughter of Eileen Stubbs, a former mayor of Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, and daughter of Bruce Stubbs, a former leader of the Alberta Party. Her mother passed away when she was 14.
Stubbs holds a Bachelor of Arts (Joint Honours) in English and Political Science from the University of Alberta. During her university years, she served as an intern in Leader of the Opposition Preston Manning's office, and as an assistant to MP Deborah Grey.
While working as a bureaucrat for the provincial government, Stubbs ran in the 2004 Alberta election for the governing Progressive Conservatives against Raj Pannu in Edmonton-Strathcona, placing a distant second. She later left the party and became involved with Wildrose, serving as Danielle Smith's chief of staff from 2010-12 and the party's Director of Legislative Affairs from 2012-14.
