Douglas Shannon is a lifelong resident of the Camillus area and a candidate for Ward 6 Councilman, committed to responsible government, fiscal discipline, and serving the needs of local residents.

He grew up in Orchard Village, where he spent 10 years as a neighborhood paperboy, building strong connections and a deep familiarity with the community at an early age. Douglas also served for many years as an altar boy at St. Joseph’s of Camillus, an experience that helped instill in him the values of service, responsibility, and respect for others. From 1994 to 1998, he was a proud member of the West Genesee High School Marching Band, further strengthening his ties to the local community and school district.

Professionally, Douglas brings over 20 years of experience in the information technology field. Throughout his career, he has focused on solving problems, managing complex systems, and delivering practical, real-world solutions. His work has required attention to detail, accountability, and efficiency—skills he believes are directly applicable to effective local governance.

Douglas is running for Town Council to help ensure that Camillus remains a great place to live, work, and raise a family. He is focused on keeping taxes under control, supporting smart and sustainable growth, and ensuring that local government remains transparent and responsive to its residents.

He believes strongly in a smaller, more efficient government—one that is accountable, fiscally responsible, and focused on delivering essential services without unnecessary expansion. Douglas is committed to bringing a practical, no-nonsense approach to Ward 6 and to representing the interests of the community with integrity and common sense.
