Electoral historyIn 2008, Shealy ran for the Republican Party's State Senate District 23 nomination against long-time incumbent State Senator Jake Knotts. Despite support from prominent Republicans including United States Senator Jim DeMint,[2] Shealy was defeated. Shealy filed again as a candidate in the 2012 Republican primary.

It was known as the Great Ballot Debacle of 2012.
