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.

What qualities does the U.S. House of Representatives possess that makes it unique as an institution?

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.

Do you believe that it's beneficial for representatives to have previous experience in government or politics?

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!!

What do you perceive to be the United States' greatest challenges as a nation over the next decade?

China, Russia and Iran. Go to my website shepherdforuscongress.com for more details.

If you are not a current representative, are there certain committees that you would want to be a part of?

Where ever I can be of best service. Put me in coach!!

Do you believe that two years is the right term length for representatives?

No. Takes 6+ months to figure out any job and be effective. 3 terms at the least, 5 terms at most.

What are your thoughts on term limits?

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.

Is there a particular representative, past or present, whom you want to model yourself after?

Jim Jordan, Devin Nunes, Dan Crenshaw, Kevin McCarthy, Brian Mast, and the list goes on. All stead fast and true.

Do you believe that compromise is necessary or desirable for policymaking?

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.
