Ralph Sheffield Biography

Ralph Sheffield is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on January 11, 1955 in Waco, Texas, United States. Ralph Edgar Sheffield, a Temple restaurateur, was born January 11, 1955. He is a Republican former member of Texas House of Representatives. His seat in District 55, which he was elected to in 2008, is in Bell County, Central Texas.

Sheffield has only faced one other race since then, the 2012 Republican primary in which he defeated John Alfred Alaniz (born circa 1961) of Temple. He was an opponent from 2008. Sheffield won that race with 6,400 votes (57.3 percent) to Alaniz’s 4,752 votes (42.6%).

In the 2013 legislative session, Sheffield voted to forbid abortion after twenty weeks of gestation and to increase medical requirements and licensing of abortion providers. However, despite these votes, Texas Right to Life rated him overall only 40 percent favorable in its 2013 ratings, down from 60 percent in 2011. He opposed a taxpayer-funded breakfast program for public schools; the measure nevertheless passed the House, 73-58. Though he co- sponsored legislation to provide marshals for security in the schools, he voted against his own bill on final passage. He opposed authorizing the immunization of minors without parental consent, a measure which the House nevertheless approved, 71-61. He voted to extend the franchise tax exemption to certain businesses. Sheffield voted to prohibit texting while driving and to require testing for narcotics of those receiving unemployment compensation. He voted for an “equal pay for women” measure, which passed the House, 78-61. He voted to forbid the state from enforcing federal regulations of firearms and co-sponsored the law allowing college and university officials to carry concealed weapons in the name of campus security. He voted against term limits for certain officials

Sheffield lost his bid for a fourth term in the House in the Republican primary held on March 4, 2014; he was unseated by Molly White of Belton, who like Alaniz in 2012 carried the backing of the Tea Party movement.

Sheffield was one of three candidates who filed for the Republican primary to succeed Republican Representative Dianne Delisi in 2008. She did not seek reelection but resigned her seat earlier than expected. With 4,372 votes, Sheffield was second (30.9 percent). Martha Tyroch was the leading candidate with 5,126 votes (36.3%). The ensuing runoff election saw Sheffield defeat Tyroch by 4,204 (63.5%) to 2,418 (36.5%). The general election saw Sheffield defeat Sam Murphey (30.9%) to 24,290 (43.4%). Chris Lane, a Libertarian Party nominee received 2.69 percent. A special election was held to elect Chris Lane, a Libertarian Party nominee, because Delisi had left the seat earlier than expected. That contest saw Sheffield win 49.7 percent against Murphey’s 44.9 percent.
