Rochelle "Shelley" Vana (born December 30, 1951) is a Democratic politician who currently serves as a Palm Beach County Commissioner, representing the 3rd District from 2008 to the present.

She was endorsed once again by the Sun-Sentinel, which argued that she was "much better informed and more qualified to represent the district than her opponent" and that her "ability to work with her Republican colleagues to get things done" warranted renomination.

"[7] Ultimately, despite the close races she endured in the past, she defeated Siedlecki by a wide margin, winning re-election with 58% of the vote.

In 2008, rather than seek re-election to the State House, Vana instead opted to run for the Palm Beach County Commission in the 3rd District, challenging incumbent Republican Commissioner Bob Kanjian, who was appointed by then-Governor Charlie Crist to the seat when the previous commissioner resigned after being sentenced on corruption charges.

She faced Boynton Beach City Commissioner Carl McCoy in the Democratic primary, but dispatched him easily, winning the nomination with 80% of the vote.

She also emphasized her support for cutting crime rates, reducing the traffic congestion and urban sprawl, and allowing for more affordable housing.

[9] The Sun-Sentinel strongly criticized Kanjian, noting that his "tendency for negativity, and frankly his own ego, have prevented him from being an effective leader on the County Commission and have only added to the dysfunction that all too often disrupts this already divisive board," and endorsed Vana, whom they called "a shrewd negotiator and a proven consensus builder who comes with a strong record of accomplishments after six years as a legislator in Tallahassee.
