Mark McGregor Shelton (born November 8, 1956), is a pediatrician at the Cook Children's Medical Center in Fort Worth, Texas, who is a Republican former member of the Texas House of Representatives. From 2009 to 2013, he represented House District 97 in Tarrant County.
Shelton did not seek reelection in 2012 but instead ran a strong but unsuccessful race for the District 10 seat in the Texas State Senate, having lost to the Democratic incumbent Wendy R. Davis, who is her party's 2014 gubernatorial nominee against Republican Greg Abbott. Shelton ran again in 2014 for the same Senate seat but was handily defeated by the more conservative challenger, Konni Burton, a businesswoman from Colleyville in Tarrant County, a favorite of the Tea Party movement. Burton received 17,435 votes (60.2 percent) to Shelton's 6,237 (38.9 percent).
Shelton's place of birth is not available. The website intelius.com reports that he formerly lived in Edmond, Oklahoma. He was reared in Arlington in Tarrant County and graduated from Lamar High School there. In 1979, he received a Bachelor of Science in Biology from Baptist-affiliated Baylor University in Waco, Texas. In 1983, he received his M.D. from Texas A&M Health Science Center College of Medicine in Bryan.
