James Lee Sheets (born March 29, 1931), known as Jim Sheets, is a retired businessman from Bella Vista, Arkansas who is a Republican former member of the Arkansas House of Representatives.
From 1967 to 1968, Sheets represented Benton County for a single term in the lower legislative chamber. Sheets is the first member of his party in the 20th century sent to the legislature from Benton County in the far northwestern portion of the state.
In time, Benton County became the GOP’s banner county in Arkansas.
Sheets did not seek reelection because of the time required away from his employment as public relations director of his alma mater, the Christian-affiliated John Brown University in Siloam Springs, Arkansas.
At the time, evangelicals had not yet organized politically to become a vital cog of the Republican voter base; many indeed were still active Democrats.
