Meet Sheila
Sheila Walker, a 2022 Republican Candidate for Hawaii State Senate District 6, is a Maui First, Common Sense Conservative. Passionate about bringing Prosperity and Aloha back to the island and people of Maui, Sheila is well known for taking a bold stance against the lockdowns during the pandemic. With her signature long silver hair and “kick ‘em where it counts” cowboy boots, she stood up for her community and led a RECALL effort against Maui’s Mayor in the face of unlawfully enforced mandates. She’s not afraid to do the right thing because she understands the universal meaning of Pono! When the Government is overreaching, Sheila Walker takes ACTION!
COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
Sheila recently served as Executive Coordinator to Dr. Kim Milhoan at the Global Covid Summit, an organization dedicated to bringing internationally renowned physicians to Maui for training on Early Treatment Protocols and Informed Consent. Sheila is an active member in the Maui Meadows neighborhood where she is a Certified Moderator on Next Door as well as a trained NVC (Non Violent Communication) facilitator. She holds memberships in the Kihei Community Association and the Lahainatown Action Committee. Sheila was also a lead organizer for the Mandate Free March and Rally featuring the Dr’s. Robert Malone, Richard Urso and Ryan Cole. Sheila regularly attends Calvary Chapel South Maui where she is a frequent volunteer.
Early Life and Education
Born in the “Show Me” state of Missouri in 1964, Sheila was raised in a family of six with traditional Christian values. She spent summers at Vacation Bible School, Church Camp, and Lake of the Ozarks or Silver Dollar City. The Walker family continues to operate the business her father founded over 40 years ago, Transland Transportation. She learned the skill of sewing from her mother (a master quilter) and went on to earn a Bachelor of Art degree from Washington University in St. Louis, studying Fashion Design. From there, she achieved another goal, a Master of Fine Art degree from Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. During her education, Sheila spent 2 semesters abroad studying weaving and textiles, immersing herself in the cultures of Spain and Mexico. She speaks “un poco” Spanish.
CAREER
Often described as a “trailblazer”, Sheila cut her teeth as a businesswoman in one of New York City’s toughest industries, the Garment District. After a short career at Tiffany & Co. and teaching as an Associate Professor at Parsons School of Design, she eventually founded her own Clothing Company, Sheila Walker Studio, located in Tribeca, downtown Manhattan. Sheila is well known for her swimwear line “She She New York” after being featured in issues of Sports Illustrated, Glamour, the New York Times, along with other well known publications. “Off Broadway” costumes, “Sex and the City” wardrobing and appearances on “Project Runway” as a judge also appear on her design resume. After selling her business and leaving NYC to travel in 2010, Sheila settled in Peru. Attracted to the rich history of Peruvian textiles she managed an Eco Permaculture Retreat Center teaching weaving and needlework. “After experiencing the stresses of 911 along with the economic housing crash of 2008, life without running water and electricity in the Amazon jungle was a welcome respite.” says Walker.
PERSONAL LIFE
In 2016, the extended Walker family celebrated their Parent’s 60th Wedding Anniversary in Kaanapali and Sheila decided to move to Maui permanently. Sheila maintains a design studio in her cottage and is an avid gardener. She is a prolific reader (mostly current events and international affairs), she’s a world traveler (all 50 states and over 10 countries) and in her spare time, she is a creator on Instagram. Sheila is a loving caretaker of two adorable fur babies and she enjoys time at the beach. In 2018, Sheila recovered from a 2 year battle with Lyme disease that almost claimed her life. She credits her strong belief in God for her healing and is grateful to have more years to be of service to others.
