After careful consideration, shes decided to cast her vote for Vice President Kamala Harris.
Heres why this desert dweller isthrowing her support behind Harris in the upcoming election.
She Seems Like a Real Person
Sheila said she likes Harriss down-to-earth demeanor.
I like that shes from asolid middle-class familyand was raised by a single mom, like I was.
Sheila also noted she values straightforward communication and that Harris is good at that.
At my age, I dont have time for grandstanding and people acting like goofballs.
I like that Harris is an adult.
Her Policies Align with Sheilas Values
For Sheila, policy matters just as much as personality.
Herfocus on healthcareand making sure that I have it is important to me.
Also, I like her plans to expand on Social Security.
These are the things I need to hear about.
Sheila particularly appreciates Harriss stance on affordable healthcare and prescription drugs.
Lowering the cost of my many and I do mean,many!
medications is earning her my vote.
I dont mean to keep harping on this, but it really matters,, she said.
I feel like Harris really understands that.
Shes talked about expanding Social Security benefits and strengthening Medicare.
Things that, say it with me now, matter.
Look, Ive been around long enough to spot a liar, she said.
Trump just doesnt deliver onhis promises, that much is clear to me.
He says one thing and does another.
He doesnt care about the working people.
I dont want a person like that in charge of the country I live in.
Sheila is troubled by the legal issues surrounding Trump, as well.
The law applies to everyone end of story.
A Vision for the Future
At 68, Sheila isnt just thinking about herself when she votes.
Ive got three grandkids, you know, she said.
Im often thinking about the world theyre going to inherit.
And honestly, I think Harris has a better vision for that future.
In particular, Sheila likes that Harris is focused on issues likeclimate change and education.
I like that shes not just thinking about the next four years, but the next forty.
Leave the world a better place than you found it thats what I believe in.
