"I’ve called Texas home my entire life. I went to school here, raised my children here, and now I’m watching my grandkids grow up in our local schools — public, charter, and private alike. My life has been built around this place, from PTA boards to church pews, from running a local business to serving on school and nonprofit boards. Everything I do is anchored right here."

Meet Cheryl Bean
I grew up Southwest of Fort Worth. It’s where I went to school, built a business, raised my four children, and is now where most of my 12 grandchildren are growing up.
This is where I learned how to stand firm in my faith and stand up for freedom over government control.
The daughter of a US Air Force fighter pilot, I’ve always had a heart for service and protecting our country. I began my career as an engineer with a master’s degree in the aerospace industry, then spent 20 years working for defense companies leading teams that developed high tech systems and war “gaming” strategies.
I also spent time in Israel as a manager for an Israeli-owned company working with members of their special forces.
Over the last 15 years, I have built a design/build general contracting company. I am the Past President of the Greater Fort Worth Builders Association and a member of the Board of Directors for the Texas Association of Builders. Through this work, I have had the opportunity to help shape Texas legislation on small business regulations and taxes as well as regulation in the housing and building industry.
No matter where my career has taken me, I have made an effort to lead my community on values that matter to residents like protecting our children from CRT and gender identity indoctrination in schools as well as religious freedom and family issues. I currently serve on the board of a local charter school.
My background is perfectly aligned with the kind of leaders Texas needs right now as our borders, businesses, and conservative values are under attack.
I am a tough Texan with experience. From national threats to our border and our land to supporting our business owners and the parents who are just trying to make sure their kids have good opportunities, I am the kind of conservative Texans can count on to speak up, stand strong, and get the work done!
