Former Air Force linguist turned real estate investor, Caelan Shelton began his political career as an advisor to a local County Commissioner, focusing on issues ranging from housing to homelessness and correctional reform. His efforts ultimately helped disrupt the misplaced funneling of millions in taxpayer funds—financed through debt—to a poorly managed judiciary lacking proper planning and oversight. Now back in his home city of Houston, he invests both politically and privately in housing and real estate development. A lover of ancient history and beautiful architecture, he enjoys camping with his wife, Symphony, their son, William, and their dog, Bella.
