In their own words
What Shea's campaign says it would work on.
The priorities Shea's own campaign site lists, quoted as written there. They are what the campaign says. Nobody has voted on them.

- “Lower Cost of Living”
- “Stop Illegal Immigration”
- “Keep America Strong”
- “Supporting Our Veterans”
Quoted from chrissheaforcongress.com, read August 14, 2026. A campaign site changes; this is what it said on that date. Curia quotes these and does not check, rate or rank them.
Record in office
Shea does not hold a seat in Congress now, so there is no current voting record, cosponsorships or committee service to show here.
That absence is not a position for or against anything.
