MY STORY

MISSOURI MADE

My name is Ryan Sheridan. I was born in St. Louis, raised in Kirkwood, and built my life the way most Missourians do—through hard work, grit, and learning every step of the way.

I am a Kirkwood Pioneer. A Mizzou Tiger. A Missouri State Bear. The Show-Me State runs through my veins. I’ve lived a real life: working long hours, building small businesses, and getting my hands dirty. Like a lot of folks, I’ve made mistakes. I’ve failed. I’ve struggled.

I’ve also gotten back up—every single time.

I’ve started businesses from scratch, including in real estate—learning every corner of what it means to build something that lasts. I’ve worked as a nurse, and now I am a nurse practitioner with a practice to help patients lift themselves out of the darkest points in their lives. I’ve fought for patients, even when our broken health care system failed them.

I’m not here to make big promises I can’t keep. I won’t pretend to be perfect. What I can promise is that I will outwork anyone in Washington. I will fight for Missourians like I’ve fought for myself, my family, and my patients. I’m guided by the belief that we must all learn to do good and to seek justice (Isaiah 1:17). I will be present, accessible, and honest—every step of the way.

I believe in Missouri because I am Missouri. I’ve seen the quiet strength of this state and the people in it. We’ve had enough of rubber stamp, establishment politicians who don’t share our values, and are only interested in serving themselves.

I’m running to break the cycle of self-serving politics, to fight for the MAHA agenda, and to bring Missouri the kind of leadership we deserve. I’ve broken the mold on what it means to be conservative and will continue to be a champion for our future.

Let the insiders write their checks. I know I’ll be outspent here. But I’ll be knocking doors, hosting town halls, answering questions directly, and showing up—for every family, every veteran, every small business owner, every working Missourian who’s tired of being ignored.

Let’s get to work.
