Jeff Shipley (born August 9, 1988) is an American politician from the state of Iowa currently serving in the Iowa House of Representatives as the representative of District 87.[1]
Shipley was born in Euclid, Ohio, in 1988 and was raised in Naperville, Illinois, where he graduated high school. He received his B.A. in political science from the University of Iowa in 2010. Since 2011, he has been a resident of Fairfield, Iowa.[2]
In March 2021, Shipley stated that the term "white privilege" is "racist on its face" and believes that when the term "white privilege" is used, it judges him based on the color of his skin, saying it was "just as Dr. Martin Luther King advised people not to do".[3]
In late January 2024, Shipley proposed a bill to remove gender identity protections from Iowa civil rights law and classify gender dysphoria as a disability. The bill was eventually rejected on January 31.[4] Shipley previously compared affirming transgender identity or gender dysphoria to affirming a sarcoma, saying "a sarcoma would be treated with aggressive therapies to remove or heal the cancerous growth and that same medical framework should be applied to the epidemic of identity disorders".[5]
