Shannon Reynolds volunteered to serve in the USAF during Vietnam despite receiving a Class-H exemption from the draft. He was a Disbursement Accounting Specialist at Chanute AFB and a Security Police augmentee. His wife is also a veteran who served as one of the first female Jet Engine Mechanics on F-4s and F-15s at Holloman AFB.

Shannon lost several friends in that war, saw many return home to be unappreciated and mistreated, and is committed to serve those who have served so bravely.

Shannon was a City Councilor, is currently a Doña Ana County Commissioner, and serves as a Vice Chair of our Caucus for CD 2.
