===Managing the Ford campaign===
   −
By the mid-1970s, Sheets had left the chamber of commerce position and was engaged in [[real estate]] in Siloam Springs. He was an alternate delegate to the 1976 Republican National Convention that met in [[Kansas City]], Missouri, to nominate the ticket of [[Gerald Ford]], and [[Robert Dole]], narrowly preferred by the delegates over the rival slate of [[Ronald Reagan]] and Richard S. Schweiker, then a U.S. senator from [[Pennsylvania]]. Dole took the second spot with Ford as Nelson Rockefeller had earlier withdrawn from contention. Sheets was the Arkansas state campaign for Ford-Dole, with his counterpart for [[Jimmy Carter]] and [[Walter Mondale]]  having been Bill Clinton, who ran unopposed that year for the office of Arkansas attorney general. Although Sheets visited most of the counties in the campaign, Ford polled only 35 percent of the vote in Arkansas, with the Republican strength confined to its traditional stronghold, the northwest quadrant of the state.<ref>Arkansas election returns, November 4, 1976</ref>
