InfoShalend Shane Singh

Sacramento native and local civil defense attorney Shane Singh has entered a bid for California’s 5th district congressional seat, formerly held by the late Robert Matsui. Singh, a moderate republican, will enter the political spotlight with a lot more on his mind than building a constituency in a district dominated by socially conscious democrats. He is seeking a congressional seat with the hope of bringing desperately needed change to a currently defunct healthcare system that has left his father in a coma for nearly a year.

Singh’s father, Sam Singh, came to the United States from Fiji with his family for the same reason so many immigrants come to the U.S. – to have the opportunity to create a better life for their children. Shane’s father did just that. A local businessman and pillar of the Sacramento Youth and Adult Soccer Community, Shane’s father instilled in him the discipline and necessary motivation to capture a dream in a single moment. Shane would pursue all sorts of interests at an early age beginning with the Boy Scouts and even as a ball boy for the Sacramento Kings from 1988 to 1992. Yet it was at John F. Kennedy High School that Sam Singh’s hard work was beginning to pay off for his son, where Shane was working with Rep. Robert Matsui’s office for a nomination and place in the United States Naval Academy. However, after careful consideration, Shane withdrew his nomination for the Academy to stay closer to family and capture his ultimate dream – to become the first attorney in his family.

After graduating from University of California at Berkeley with a degree in Political Science and a minor in City and Regional Planning (not to mention the experience of helping nurture the skills of Jason Kidd as the head team manager of the Cal basketball team) Shane would take that all-important step that would one day make his dream a reality by returning to his hometown of Sacramento and enrolling at University of Pacific, McGeorge School of Law.

Now a civil defense attorney at a local firm, the Sacramento native will take his father’s values to the next level by seeking a congressional seat and forging a fight to give back to his father what his father has already given Shane – a life worth living.

Shane is uniquely qualified to serve the 5th District; he has a unique perspective of growing up and living in the area. Some of his opponents currently do not reside in the area that they desire to serve and represent. While in college, he gained valuable political experience working for Governor Wilson both in Sacramento and Washington, D.C. In law school, Shane absorbed knowledge of issues related to law enforcement and administrative regulation by working the the Sacramento County District Attorney's Office and the Cal OSHA Appeals Board.

With his Juris Doctor, Shane earned a Certificate in Governmental Affairs. This course of study exposed him to the interactions of the political and legal processes.

After passing the difficult California Bar Examination on his first try, he has represented businesses, public entities and insured clients in trial, arbitrations, mediations and depositions. His practice area is civil litigation in state and federal courts, particularly in the areas of product liability, government tort liability, civil rights and disability discrimination, premises liability, construction accidents, business litigation and automotive claims.
