Deborah Shellenberger
Challenger Deborah Shellenberger is running for Sebastian City Council in Sebastian, Florida. Election day is November 3, 2026.
Sebastian has been a special place for my family since my husband and I bought our home here in 2014, making it our permanent residence in 2020. Married for 44 incredible years, my life has been built on strong family values, dedication, and service to others.
Over a 45 year career in healthcare as a Registered Nurse, Nursing Supervisor, and Physician Assistant, I tackled some of the most demanding environments imaginable, from serving as the Operating Room Head Nurse at a major Philadelphia hospital to delivering essential medical care to inmates in the Philadelphia County jail system. Along the way, I also served as a trusted mentor to Physician Assistant students, guiding the next generation of healthcare professionals. These roles demanded absolute accountability, clear communication, sound decision-making, and deep empathy under pressure.
For the past five years, I’ve put those exact skills to work in our local community as a precinct captain and civic volunteer. I am running for Sebastian City Council because I care deeply about our city's future. I promise to listen to your concerns, protect our small-town charm, manage growth responsibly, and serve with common-sense leadership. I would be honored to earn your vote and your support!
