Biography

John McEffer Shera (1840 – 19 September 1906) was a Liberal Party Member of Parliament in Auckland, New Zealand.
Shera married a daughter of Henry Balneavis, Jemima Balneavis, at St. Paul's Church in April 1873. He represented the City of Auckland multi-member electorate from 1890 to 1893, when he was defeated. His wife was part-Māori and Shera ensured that Māori women were included in the electoral reform bill that granted women's suffrage. He died on 19 September 1906 at his residence in Remuera, Auckland.
