Sheila Korth

Sheila grew up on a corn, soybean, and cattle farm in northeast Nebraska where her interest in reforming U.S. agriculture, energy, and climate policies began. In 2007, she received the Harry S. Truman national scholarship for public service. Sheila worked on Capitol Hill and for another DC-based nonprofit before joining Taxpayers for Common Sense in 2012. From 2014-2020, she consulted for various nonprofits, including TCS, on agriculture, energy, environmental, and budget/tax policy. While in Omaha, Sheila managed an alumni mentoring program at the University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO) and led grassroots opposition to a proposed residential development near her neighborhood due to flooding and traffic concerns. Sheila rejoined TCS again full time in 2021.

Sheila holds a bachelor’s degree in economics and management information systems from the University of Nebraska at Omaha and a master’s degree in environmental policy from the London School of Economics and Political Science.
