Candidate for
Board of Finance
Shane Pendley

I’ve had the honor of serving on Fairfield’s Board of Finance since January 2024, and I’m now running for a full six-year term. As the only candidate with young children in our public schools, I bring both professional experience and a unique personal perspective. With two long-serving members stepping down, continuity matters — and my record shows I’m ready to deliver it. I’ve supported budgets that keep spending affordable while investing in education, public safety, and infrastructure, and I’ve pushed for smart modernization to strengthen Fairfield’s financial future.
