## Early life

## Political career

### First attempt

Shillington ran unsuccessfully as an NDP candidate in the [Saskatchewan general election of 1971](/source/1971_Saskatchewan_general_election), in the riding of [Moosimin](/source/Moosomin_(provincial_electoral_district)).[3] He was then appointed as executive assistant to the Attorney General for Saskatchewan, [Roy Romanow](/source/Roy_Romanow), from 1971 to 1975.

### Blakeney government (1975-1980)

He again stood for election in the [general election of 1975](/source/1975_Saskatchewan_general_election), this time in the riding of [Regina Centre](/source/Regina_Centre), and was elected.[4] He served in the [provincial cabinet](/source/Executive_Council_of_Saskatchewan) of Premier [Allan Blakeney](/source/Allan_Blakeney) in a variety of positions, initially as Minister of Consumer Affairs.

### Opposition (1982-1991)

Shillington left Cabinet in 1980, but continued to sit as a member of the Legislative Assembly. In the general election of 1982, when the NDP was defeated, he was one of the nine NDP members elected, and sat in the Opposition.[4]

### Romanow Government (1991-1998)
