John Shea (politician)

John Shea (politician)

John D. Shea is a New Hampshire Democratic politician currently representing District 2 in the New Hampshire Executive Council.

Shea was elected to the Council in 2006, defeating 12-term incumbent Peter Spaulding. He benefited from robust support for the Democrats in New Hampshire's 2006 elections, which saw the party take both of the state's Congressional seats and win control of both houses of the state legislature. The victory came as a surprise to Shea, who put his name forward mainly so that there would be a Democratic name on the ballot, and did not expect to win.
