SHINE STRATEGIES
Logan Shine, J.D.
Logan brings nearly a decade of political and government relations experience which he leverages to provide his clients with invaluable insight into the process.
He previously served as policy advisor and legislative liaison for Governor Kim Reynolds and Lt. Governor Adam Gregg from 2018-2021. Logan had unparalleled access to the legislature and worked across party lines to secure bipartisan support for significant tax reform, workforce initiatives, education, broadband, and economic development programs.
Before founding Shine Strategies, Logan joined a national company as Vice President of Government Affairs. He gained insight into what corporations look for – results. In this leadership role, Logan was instrumental in positioning the company to successfully compete and receive a multi-million dollar award from the State.
Logan earned a law degree from Drake University where he received a specialized certificate in Legislative Practice which has allowed him to build relationships in both the Legislative and Executive branches of government.
Logan and his wife Jackie live on an acreage in Adel, Iowa with their two children Amelia and Beau, german shepherds Dexter and Leo, a flock of chickens, and two bee hives.
