He is Chairman of the Science and Technology Committee, Vice Chairman of Insurance and Labor Committee, and Secretary of Regulated Industries and Utilities Committee.

Shafer served as Administration Floor Leader for Governor Sonny Perdue during the 2004 Legislative Session.

A small business owner, Shafer is president of a Duluth based corporate public relations firm. He serves on the Board of Directors of the Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce.

Long active in the community, Shafer served as Vice Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Gwinnett County Library System and as a member of the Board of Trustees of the former Gwinnett-Forsyth Regional Library System.
