Meet Sherry
Sherry Perdue is a retired Civics Teacher, Small Business Owner, Wife, Mother and Committed Community Volunteer. She lives in Alamosa County with her husband, Edward (Eddie) Perdue.
Public service, education and the Preservation of Democracy are at the heart of who Sherry is. As a high school and community college teacher, she was devoted to her students and worked tirelessly to bring an understanding of our history, our government and our Constitution.
As a Small Business owner, she has first hand knowledge of the many issues that our local businesses face and how good policy at the local level can help them sustain their businesses - often on a razor thin profit margin.
Sherry’s strong commitment to Alamosa is highlighted by her community service work. She is a member of the Woman’s Citizenship Club, RSVP Volunteers and has served as History Day Judge at Adams State and National Civics Bee Judge.
Sherry and her husband have been residents of Alamosa County for twelve years - part-timers at first. They fell in love with the people and the majesty of the San Luis Valley. They are both grateful for the welcoming spirit and kindness they have experienced here over the years. They both look for ways to give back to their beloved community.

My Priorities
Discover the Four Core Objectives of Sherry’s legislative agenda—a forward-thinking approach designed to tackle the most urgent issues impacting Alamosa County today:
Healthcare Stability Initiative: Establishing a cohesive communication network to guide and safeguard our community through the significant medical shifts expected by 2027. Drawing on her experience with the SLV Health Patient and Family Advisory Council, Sherry is prepared to champion accessible healthcare for all residents.
Collaborative Homelessness Solutions: Bringing together nonprofit organizations, government departments, and local citizens to build a comprehensive, sustainable plan to resolve the homelessness crisis in our area.
Ethical Technological Growth: Implementing a temporary moratorium on the building of data centers to allow for a community-driven process that ensures local expansion is both intentional and beneficial for all.
Enhanced Digital Accountability: Performing an exhaustive, open review of all monitoring systems—including public safety and traffic cameras—to verify that security measures respect individual privacy and align with the values of our neighborhood through a formal county audit.
Data center moratorium Establishing a temporary pause on new data center development while all stakeholders collaborate on a comprehensive, community‑driven plan for Alamosa County.
Surveillance review Evaluating the need, effectiveness, privacy considerations, and community impact of surveillance tools—including traffic and public‑area cameras—through a collaborative, countywide review process.
