Steven Léo Shanahan (born September 16, 1970) is a politician in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. He has served on the Montreal City Council from 2013 to 2017 as a member of Vrai changement pour Montréal.
Shanahan was born in Sherbrooke.[1] His campaign literature indicates that he is a marketing consultant with a bachelor's degree in administration from Bishop's University.[2]
Shanahan was elected to Montreal city council for the Peter-McGill division in the 2013 municipal election, winning a somewhat unexpected victory over star candidate Damien Silès from Équipe Denis Coderre pour Montréal.[3] During the campaign, Shanahan promised to fight for a French-language school in the district.[4]
Shanahan was the Conservative candidate for Ville-Marie—Le Sud-Ouest—Île-des-Sœurs in the 2015 Canadian federal election, during which he attended the 2015 Montreal Pride Parade while campaigning.[5]
Shanahan ran again in the 2017 municipal election, but lost to Cathy Wong of Équipe Denis Coderre pour Montréal.
