Shaun Finnie for Congress is seeking a Social Media Director to lead the campaign's online presence, crafting and executing digital strategies that inform, engage, and mobilize voters through November 2026. This role blends creative storytelling with data-driven strategy to ensure our message reaches the right people, at the right time, on the right platforms.

The anticipated start date is in January of 2026 and employment will last through November of 2026. This is a full-time, in-person position based in Texas' 2nd Congressional District.

Shaun grew up on a farm in a family of modest means. When his parents divorced, his mother, a registered nurse, worked two jobs to support her three children and put them through college. From his mother, Shaun learned the value of hard work, dedication, and grit.

The first in his family to ever attend college, Shaun earned a Bachelor of Arts with a major in Economics, a law degree, and a Masters in Business Administration with majors in Finance and Accounting from Northwestern University. He was an oil and gas lawyer for three years, and since then has spent the last 30 years working in investment banking, focusing on energy, primarily oil and gas mergers & acquisitions.

Shaun and his wife have lived in The Woodlands for 19 years and they have raised four children in their wonderful community. Unfortunately, one of their daughters tragically passed away at the age of 19.

Shaun has long been committed to furthering the education of young people in The Woodlands and elsewhere. Shaun served on the Board of Trustees of The John Cooper School for several years. He also founded an investment club for high school students. For seven years, Shaun taught young Texans the importance of understanding and managing their personal finances, how to live within their financial means, how to make prudent investment decisions, and how to avoid going into debt.

Shaun's greatest passion in life is teaching and mentoring young people with respect to finance, investing, and careers in business. He gets tremendous joy from reinvesting his time and energy back into the community so that everyone can have the opportunity to succeed and pursue their passions!
