Shelley Lenz

Shelley Lenz earned a high school diploma from Mount Vernon High School and a bachelor's degree from Ohio University in 1990. She went on to earn a Ph.D. in pharmacology from the University of Pennsylvania in 1996 and a veterinary degree from The Ohio State University in 2001. Lenz's career experience includes working as a veterinarian. Through my work, I've created jobs, mentored students, and served families, ranchers, and small businesses across western North Dakota.

“While I moved to North Dakota in 2007 to start my veterinary clinic, my family's roots here go back generations. My great-grandparents homesteaded in North Dakota, and although my grandfather left during the hardships of the 1930s in search of educational and economic opportunities, our family maintained ties to the land through my mother, who inherited much of our family ranch. My parents later returned to North Dakota in the 1990s after my father retired.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection Survey)
“Workforce is the foundation of North Dakota's future. Western North Dakota powers this state, but too many businesses, hospitals, schools, and trades cannot find enough workers. I support expanding career and technical education, building stronger school-to-work pipelines, and creating practical pathways for young people to stay, work, and build families in North Dakota.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection Survey)
