Early life and education

[edit]

Sherer was born in Ontario, Oregon in 1964. He attended Idaho State University from 1983 to 1985.[1]

Career

[edit]

Sherer, a Republican, was first elected as a representative of the 36th district of the Nevada Assembly in 2002, defeating Democratic Party candidate Roy Mankins and succeeded retiring Democratic legislator Roy Neighbors.[2] After taking office, Sherer was assigned to the committee on constitutional amendments.[3] He ran for and won reelection in 2004.[4] When Sherer was removed from the Judiciary Committee in December 2004, he became the only assembly member not to hold a position on an assembly committee that met in the morning.[5] His resignation from the Nevada Assembly took effect on 11 July 2005.[6] He moved to Salt Lake City to work in the human resources department of Smith's Food and Drug Stores, vacating his position as a store manager for the chain in Pahrump, Nevada.[6] Sherer expressed support for Ed Goedhart to run for the seat, and Goedhart succeeded him in office.[6]
