Issues
Secure the Border
The border crisis represents one of the most critical challenges facing our nation today – affecting each and every one of us, directly or indirectly, and undermining the very fabric of our society, our economy, and our national security. As our next Member of Congress, Sheri will work tirelessly to build the wall, stop the flow of illegal aliens and drugs into our country, and replace “catch-and-release” with “stop-and-deport.”
Fiscal Responsibility
The Biden Administration and the career politicians’ excessive and wasteful spending have not only fueled inflation but also greatly harmed our children, grandchildren, and future generations with unconscionable debt. As our next Congresswoman, Sheri will fight for fiscal responsibility, accountability, and transparency of our hard-earned tax dollars.
Defend the Sanctity of Life
As a Christian, Sheri believes all life is made in the image and likeness of God and it must be cherished. Like many women, Sheri faced significant challenges bringing life into this world, including multiple miscarriages and bed rest orders during her pregnancy of her son. Yet, despite the challenges, Sheri always thanked God for the beautiful creations He blessed her with. AS our Member of Congress, Sheri will use her voice and story to protect the sanctity of life and advance a true culture of life in this country.
Drain the Swamp
Our nation is crippled by career politicians, those focused on getting and retaining titles. Our District and our nation need more political outsiders – just like President Trump – to prioritize the issues most important to the people and return the power to the American people. As our next Member of Congress, Sheri will do just that with integrity, humility, and accountability.
Keep the Promises to our Veterans
While the career politicians and bureaucrats can “magically” afford to put illegal immigrants in hotels that cost over $500 per night, there are far too many veteran needs being ignored. For generations, America has made promises to those who have made the commitment to serve. Not only has the nation failed to deliver on those promises, but the career politicians and bureaucrats don’t even care. Sheri has worn the uniform in combat and volunteers to support local veterans. That’s why, as our next Congresswoman, Sheri will fight as hard as ever to ensure those who sacrifice and have sacrificed for our nation receive the honor, dignity, respect, and care they deserve.
