Testimonials

Shellie impresses me with her broad knowledge and experiences, and a continuing desire to learn. She has been an accomplished engineer and successful leader in her professional field. I have seen her successfully undertake equally serious roles – mother, small business owner, and engaged volunteer leader in Church and community. Her prioritizes family, relationships, and faith. Shellie enjoys a keen intellect and sense of humor and appreciates a good cup of coffee and conversation. In my experience she has never abandoned a commitment because it was unpopular or difficult; she is the one who stepped in where others stepped back and worked all the harder, with a smile on her face encouraging others.

My name is Marsue Williams. My husband Bill and I support Shellie Gardner and her
candidacy for District 12, US Representative.

We know Shellie, her husband and their
two boys to be people of character through their involvement with the Budget and Finance Committee at Westwood Baptist.

We are particularly excited about her work and her passion as an Electrical Engineer.

My family as is Bill’s and some of our closest friends are engineers. We know that they
look at life a little differently. They come with a determination and a drive as to how they
can assist with curing problems.

We think she will take Washington by storm.

What she says she will do as a representative of District 12… you can count on it.

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.
