Early life
Shannon was born near Chipman, Alberta in 1979. She is the granddaughter of Eileen Stubbs, a former mayor of Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, and daughter of Bruce Stubbs, a former leader of the Alberta Party. Her mother died when she was 14.
Stubbs holds a Bachelor of Arts (Joint Honours) in English and Political Science from the University of Alberta. During her university years, she served as an intern in Leader of the Opposition Preston Manning's office, and as an assistant to MP Deborah Grey.
Provincial politics
While working as a bureaucrat for the provincial government, Stubbs ran in the 2004 Alberta election for the governing Progressive Conservatives against Raj Pannu in Edmonton-Strathcona, placing a distant second. She later left the party and became involved with Wildrose, serving as Danielle Smith's chief of staff from 2010-12 and the party's Director of Legislative Affairs from 2012-14.
In 2011, Stubbs won the Wildrose nomination in the riding of Fort Saskatchewan-Vegreville, held by premier Ed Stelmach, in the hope of unseating him in the 2012 Alberta election. He subsequently resigned and retired from politics, but Stubbs was defeated by PC candidate and former Strathcona County councillor Jacquie Fenske.
Federal politics
Stubbs was elected by a landslide under the Conservative banner in the newly-recreated riding of Lakeland in the 2015 federal election. Conservative interim leader Rona Ambrose appointed her to the position of deputy critic for natural resources. In that capacity, she serves on the House's Standing Committee on Natural Resources. She also serves as vice-chair for the Special Committee on Pay Equity.
She endorsed Andrew Scheer in the Conservative Party leadership election of 2017.
Personal life
Stubbs is married to former Lac La Biche-St. Paul-Two Hills MLA Shayne Saskiw.
