  • Stop inflation , Secure our border, Fix our supply chain
  • Implement sensible term limits for US Congress

Securing our borders and controlling inflation.
My Father and Grandfather were very inspiring My Father for his service to our gray nation and my FDR/JFK card carrying Democrat Grandfather who would have burned his card along time ago.

My mother who mostly raised me as a single mom in South Florida. Those were trying years for her. We endured the gas lines and inflation of the late 70’s early 80’s but we always had what we needed. Thank you Mom.
The first historical events I remember are the fall of Vietnam and Secritariat winning horse racing’s Triple Crown. The first music I remember is Roberta Flacks album First Take. Just beautiful.
Congress is where all the gray laws we live by have been crafted. What I love about America has always been “we’re only told what we CAN’T do not what we CAN do!!” But that has changed due in part to COVID-19 and other factors. We need to get our freedom back, and that’s 1 of many reasons I’m running. Not doing this for fun because it’s not and I really like my career path. My reasons a simple, I love my family and country and want to keep both safe and going in the right direction.
No. Political baggage and favors owed are not endearing qualities. I want to bring real world problem solving solutions to Congress. My morals and character is sound and stead fast. I’m bring that!!
China, Russia and Iran. Go to my website shepherdforuscongress.com for more details.
No. Takes 6+ months to figure out any job and be effective. 3 terms at the least, 5 terms at most.
I’m very glad you asked me this question as I was recently approached by a lobbyist who put me to task on this very subject. After a lot of soul searching I have concluded the following. 5 terms for US House of Representatives. 3 terms for US Senate 20 years for US Supreme Court.

They only asked me about the House but while I was pondering the question, I figured I just finish the subject.

We need to figure out a way to implement so our leadership isn’t gutted but I think my proposal is fair as no one should hold any office longer.
Jim Jordan, Devin Nunes, Dan Crenshaw, Kevin McCarthy, Brian Mast, and the list goes on. All stead fast and true.
Always. I read a lot of news I don’t agree with just to have and hear all ideas and sides. Best ideas win!! Always.
