PEOPLE OVER POLITICS
SHELANE ETCHISON
AN INDEPENDENT VOICE FOR CONGRESS
True leaders unify, inspire, and accept responsibility — they do not divide, sow fear, or blame. As a Special Operations veteran, I served with Americans of all backgrounds and led by these same principles both in combat and at home — and it’s time we have elected representatives who do the same.
Too many Americans feel disillusioned by our elected officials. We deserve real leaders dedicated to bridging our divisions and collaboratively solving problems.
This is why I’m running for Congress in North Carolina’s 9th district as an independent candidate. To give voters a fresh choice, and be only in service to you, the Constitution, and our great Republic.
Best,
Shelane

Shelane Etchison is no stranger to tough assignments. She spent 11 years in the U.S. Army as a Special Operations Soldier. She was deployed to Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria, and was decorated for her service as one of the first women supporting Army Rangers in combat. Now, she’s running to become the first independent member of Congress from North Carolina.
After her service, Shelane earned master’s degrees from Harvard Business School and Kennedy School of Government. She returned to North Carolina where she had made her home while stationed at Fort Bragg, now Fort Liberty. Shelane continues empowering people to build peaceful and prosperous societies, both domestically and abroad as a security consultant and non-profit leader.
