Issues

Economy and Smaller Government

As a fiscal conservative and small business owner, I have experienced the crippling impact of government overreach and how poor policy drives up inflation and stifles business.

Securing America's Border

As an electrical engineer and successful entrepreneur, I bring a unique perspective to addressing the challenges at our southern border.

School Choice

In Texas, we understand the importance of giving parents educational choices for their children.

Veterans

My father served our country for 20 years in the U.S. Navy. Growing up in a military family, I learned the importance of duty and honor. I am committed to serve the men and women who have faithfully served their country.

Law Enforcement

We must recognize the critical role law enforcement plays in upholding the security and well-being of our community. We must also recognize that law enforcement personnel knows their communitites best and many times government’s highest purpose is staying out of their way.

Peace Through Strength

A strong, technologically superior military is the key to lasting peace. I am committed to ensuring that our military has the resources, and manpower required to protect America and American interests overseas.

Cybersecurity and Intellectual Property Rights

Think of information flowing like water, easily crossing borders. These ideas give businesses and countries a competitive edge. We must protect American interests and keep government and business systems safe.

MEET SHELLIE

Shellie Gardner is a successful business owner and dedicated conservative Republican who is seeking to bring her wealth of experience and passion for problem-solving to the United States Congress. As a trained electrical engineer, Shellie is used to analyzing complex issues, identifying solutions, and engineering a path forward, but now for the betterment of the nation.

Witnessing firsthand the increase of crime and drugs affecting her own community, Shellie’s primary focus is the urgent need for common-sense solutions to secure our southern border. Biden’s open-door border policy is destroying the very fabric of America. Shellie believes that we must return to Trump-era policies that led to a significant decrease in illegal crossing during his administration.

As a wife and mother of two adult children, Shellie understands the importance of family values and how it intertwines with the American Dream. When Shellie and her husband decided to start a family, they realized her travel schedule would prevent them from the family lifestyle they often imagined. Shellie had some big decisions to make. In 2005, Shellie left a successful career in engineering and real estate, and established Christmas Light Source. This small business now supplies lights across America, including the Christmas Tree at the United States Capitol.

Success as an entrepreneur did not come easy. Gardner relied on her strong Christian faith to guide her through the difficulties that arose. Now an almost 20-year veteran in the lighting business, Gardner looks for opportunities to give back to her community. She is actively engaged in charities in the Fort Worth area, and Shellie and her husband were early donors and enthusiastic supporters of the Museum of the Bible in Washington, DC.

Shellie wants everyone to have the same opportunities she has been blessed with and realizes that Biden’s policies of over-regulation and taxation put the American Dream further out of reach. Shellie intends to cut regulations, lower taxes, and return our country to the economic growth and prosperity we experienced under President Trump.

With your help, Shellie will take on the disastrous Biden policies with common sense conservative principles and get our country back on the right track.
