Doug Shields Politician
Douglas A. Shields is a former member of the Pittsburgh City Council, on which he represented the 5th District from 2004 to 2012, and also served as the Council's President from 2006 to 2010. Before serving on Pittsburgh City Council, he served as Chief of Staff for 11 years to Bob O'Connor during O’Connor’s tenure on Pittsburgh City Council. The Squirrel Hill Urban Coalition selected Shields as one of its 2006 Citizens of the Year to honor his accomplishments and he recently received an award for Distinguished Service to the Aids Community at Shepherd Wellness' annual event. Shields sought the office of magisterial district judge, despite not holding a law degree. The election for the seat took place on May 17, 2011, in which he lost to Hugh McGough, who also won the Republican primary and thus the seat in November uncontested. Shields is married with two children. He resides in Squirrel Hill.
