Conservative Values.
A Lifetime Of Results For Texas.
Shelly deZevallos is a born-and-raised Texan, a proud Longhorn and Aggie, and a devoted wife and mother raising twin daughters in Houston. She learned the timeless conservative values of Christian faith, family, and hard work growing around her family’s airport — and those principles continue to guide her life and service today.
Shelly is a proven Texas business and aviation leader. As President of West Houston Airport — her family’s business — she has spent decades creating economic opportunities, employing Texans, navigating federal bureaucracy, and fighting government overreach at every step. A commercial pilot with over 5,000 hours of flight experience, Shelly understands firsthand how crucial the aviation and space industries are to the Houston area and to American competitiveness.
Her expertise has earned recognition at the highest levels of government. During President Trump’s first term, Shelly earned an appointment to the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Safety Oversight and Certification Advisory Committee, where she advised on aviation safety and certification issues — proving she is battle-tested and vetted to serve at the highest levels. Governor Greg Abbott also named her to the Small Business Freedom Council — Texas’ DOGE initiative — to cut government waste and protect taxpayer dollars, as well as the Aerospace and Aviation Advisory Committee.
Shelly has devoted more than 20 years to advancing conservative values and the America First movement at the grassroots level. She served as Vice Chair of the Harris County Republican Party and was a 2024 National Alternate Delegate to the Republican National Convention for President Trump. Her lifetime of service at the local, state, and national levels proves she knows how to apply conservative values to effective policies that put America and Texas first.
