He was later an agent for the North British Mercantile Insurance Company and a member of the Newfoundland Board of Revenue.Shea's political career began in 1885 when he ran as a Liberal in Ferryland, a district his father had also represented. He was elected by acclamation as a supporter of Ambrose Shea, who led the Catholic-Liberal party in a highly sectarian contest. Shea was re-elected as an independent in 1889, but was defeated by Liberal candidates Michael Cashin and Daniel J. Greene in 1893. Again elected MHA for Ferryland in 1897, Shea served for two years as minister without portfolio in the government of Sir James Spearman Winter. In 1902 Shea was elected as the first mayor of St. John's. During his term he implemented improvements to the water system and brought the city's finances under control. He continued as mayor until 1906, having meanwhile re-entered the House of Assembly in 1904 as the Liberal representative for the district of St. John's East.He was minister without portfolio in the government of Sir Robert Bond from 1904 to 1909 and was re-elected in 1908 and 1909. After Bond resisted invitations to return to public life in 1917 and 1918 Shea endorsed Richard Squires and the Liberal Reform Party. Shea retired from business in 1919 and the following year was appointed by Squires to the Legislative Council. He occasionally served as acting Prime Minister in Squire's absence.".
