COLUMBIA, TN  Maury County resident and Republican Sheila K. Butt today announced her plans to run for State House District 64 which is comprised of most of Maury County and includes the cities of Columbia, Mount Pleasant, and Spring Hill, TN.

Im ready to serve the citizens of the county that has been my home for the last 25 years, said Butt.  This district needs an effective leader that will help improve our schools and create much-needed jobs.  People are hurting and they are seeking true conservative leaders who will limit government and protect their constitutional rights.  I believe the best government is less government and if elected, I plan to promote policies that follow that important principle, she continued.  Id be honored if District 64 voters would elect me to work with them and for them in achieving these goals.

Sheila has a great deal of experience in private sector business.  She was co-founder and managing editor for S&S Bovine Images, a company that marketed and promoted the Tennessee Cattle industry.  She was also co-founder and Managing Editor for Tennessee Cattle Business, the official publication of the Tennessee Cattlemens Association that has become the premier magazine for the cattle industry of Tennessee.  In addition, Sheila was a managing partner in McInk Printers in Columbia, taking on the responsibility of the companys daily operations.

My professional background and community involvement have given me a significant understanding of the value of small business and the need to bring long-term economic growth to District 64.  Our area is facing double digit unemployment and Maury County residents want a representative who will promote policies to create jobs and strengthen our local economy.  The people of this district want to go back to work and I want to help get them there! 

Sheila has worked diligently to promote conservative principles through involvement in a number of organizations such as the American Family Association, Concerned Women for America, and Tennessee Right to Life.  She is also a member of the National Rifle Association as well as the Tennessee Firearms Association and exercises her Second Amendment right by carrying her own Tennessee handgun permit.

In addition to conservative advocacy and extensive business experience, Sheila is also an active member of the Anderson Bend Church of Christ, the Maury Alliance, The Fraternal Order of Police and has served as secretary for the Maury County Horsemans Association.  Shes also an established author of books on parenting as well as books for teenage girls and is often asked to lecture on those topics.  She has taught in the Horizons Program at Freed-Hardeman University for nineteen years and was awarded the Kaye Battles Service Award from Freed-Hardeman in 2004.  Sheila began her college career majoring in Political Science and graduated Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Science Degree in English with a minor in History from East Tennessee State University. She has done graduate work at David Lipscomb University.

Sheila currently resides in Columbia with her husband, Stan.
