City of Jackson welcomes Ron Shultis as new chief of staff

JACKSON, Tenn. — Mayor Scott Conger welcomes former Policy and Research Director for the Beacon Center of Tennessee Ron Shultis, as Chief of Staff for the City of Jackson.

For the past seven years in his role with the Beacon Center of Tennessee, the state’s oldest and most influential non-partisan public policy think tank and its sister advocacy organization Beacon Impact, Shultis led and conducted the Beacon Center’s research efforts and helped to shepherd Beacon Impact’s legislative agenda through the Tennessee General Assembly.

His research has been covered and cited in numerous state and national publications.

“I am super excited. This is a city my family and I have come to love, and it’s an opportunity to invest and impact change,” said Shultis.

Prior to his work at the Beacon Center, Shultis worked for several years as a corporate immigration paralegal for Zulkie Partners LLC, a nationally recognized boutique immigration law firm in Chicago, Illinois.

Here he assisted with foreign nationals’ nonimmigrant visa and permanent residency applications.

Prior to living and working in Chicago, Shultis served as a legislative aide for the house majority whip of the Georgia General Assembly, successfully helping to analyze and summarize legislation for the house republican caucus.
