Transcription
Early life
Sheffield is from a multigenerational Mormon family but formally left the LDS Church in 2010.[4] She was subsequently baptized in the Episcopal Church in Manhattan under the spiritual guidance of Presiding Bishop Michael Curry.[5] She now attends "a Bible-believing, nondenominational church in the Washington, D.C., area."[6] Sheffield earned a B.A. in communications from Brigham Young University in 2005[7] and a master's degree in public policy from Harvard University.[8]
Career
Sheffield formerly worked for syndicated columnist Robert Novak[9] before joining the editorial board of The Washington Times[10] under Tony Blankley, writing editorials on domestic and foreign policy and politics. She covered the 2008 presidential race, including an interview with former U.S. president Jimmy Carter at the Democratic National Convention in Denver, during which he stated that former president Bill Clinton had damaged Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign.[11]
Sheffield has defended the Tea Party movement,[12] writing in USA Today: "While a few strident Tea Partiers are guilty of fanaticism, the overwhelming majority of these activists are motivated by a kernel of truth in their worries that federal spending as a share of the national economy has risen under President Obama (to the highest it has been since 1946) and would have escalated further under a Democratic Congress. History is replete with examples, from the former Soviet Union to East Germany, China, Cuba, North Korea, etc., that illustrate Tea Partiers' legitimate fears. When government encroaches on commercial liberties, the end result is a failed civil state. Economic and civil liberties go hand in hand."
Sheffield worked as a credit risk manager at Goldman Sachs and bond analyst at Moody's Investors Service and testified before the U.S. Congress as an expert witness on economic policy issues. [13] She researched economic policy for Edward Conard,[14] an American Enterprise Institute scholar and founding partner of Bain Capital. She spoke at the U.S. Senate alongside key senators in favor of landmark tax reforms passed by Congress in 2017.[15]
Television
Sheffield has provided guest political analysis for national television networks, including Fox News,[16] Fox Business[17] CNN[18] and MSNBC.[19] She interviewed then-House Speaker Paul Ryan about conservative approaches to combating poverty during programming on the mainstage of the 2016 Conservative Political Action Conference airing live on C-SPAN.[20] She encouraged 2018 midterm voter turnout for ABC News [21] and has been a featured guest on HBO's "Real Time with Bill Maher," [22][23] and PBS's The McLaughlin Group[24]
Sheffield made numerous appearances on CNN following the June 2022 Supreme Court decision to reverse Roe v. Wade.[25]
Other commentary
Sheffield contributed to Forbes magazine covering political economy. She investigated analysis both from prominent African-American economist Thomas Sowell with Stanford University's Hoover Institution, and from other experts, on what they describe as the racist historical origins of minimum wage.[26]
At the Conservative Political Action Conference in 2016, Sheffield said she believes conservative approaches to poverty alleviation using private and faith-based charity were more effective than government interventions because they enabled more comprehensive social and emotional development.[27]
In commentary for "Good Morning America" with ABC News, Sheffield stated that she believes true diversity includes diversity of political ideology among voices within the national media. "Conservative voices are being drowned out," she said. "And we're not having a seat at the table in the national media." Sheffield added that she is "passionate about having balance and having all voices at the table."[28]
Entrepreneurship
In 2015, Sheffield founded Bold, a digital news network [29] described by The Wall Street Journal as a media startup "inspiring millennials to find their voices amid a new digital landscape."[30] In 2018, Entrepreneur magazine ran a podcast feature about Bold's "exceedingly rare" trademark victory [31] over a digital news network announced by the multi-billion dollar media and entertainment companies MGM and TEGNA.
