Shawn Chauncey is an American politician from Kansas that currently represents the 65th district of the Kansas House of Representatives since 2024 as a Republican.
Kansas House of Representatives
Chauncey was born and raised on a ranch in South Dakota.[1] For the 27 years prior to his election to the Kansas House of Representatives, Chauncey worked as a construction contractor in Junction City.[1]
Chauncey launched a primary challenge to incumbent Representative Jeff Underhill on a platform that Underhill was too preoccupied also being a member of the Junction City Commission to adequately represent his constituents.[2] Chauncey also pledged to seek to implement term-limits if elected.[3] Chauncey would narrowly defeat Underhill with 504 votes to 413.[4]
Chauncey would face off against Democratic challenger Lorraine M. Ceniceros during the general election. Chauncey would win with 57.02% of the vote to Ceniceros' 42.98%[5]
