Who is Stacy Sheridan
Executive summary
Stacy Sheridan is a name shared by multiple public figures; the two most prominent in the supplied reporting are a contemporary nonprofit/advancement professional associated with Turning Point USA and a fictional television character from the 1980s police drama T.J. Hooker, and several other individuals with similar names appear in sports and film databases [1] [2] [3] [4]. The reporting supplied does not identify a single, unique “Stacy Sheridan” without ambiguity, so any definitive biography requires clarifying which person is meant [5] [2].
1. Who the contemporary Stacy Sheridan appears to be — nonprofit advancement director
The name Stacy Sheridan is documented in current political and media coverage as a Senior Director or Senior Advancement Director for Turning Point USA, a conservative youth organization, including a biography-style profile and a C-SPAN appearance listing that role and a 2025 speech in the C-SPAN video library [5] [1]. One online biography frames her as California‑born, a Pepperdine‑linked law‑circle alumnus turned fundraiser and connector who has worked across education, veteran support and conservative causes, and even lists philanthropic ties such as the Gary Sinise Foundation and Jane Seymour’s Open Hearts [5]. That biography includes a claimed birth year used to calculate an age as of its 2025 publication, but the profile’s provenance and completeness are not fully corroborated elsewhere in the supplied reporting, so the specific personal details beyond her professional title should be treated as sourced to that single profile [5].
2. Who the fictional Stacy Sheridan is — Heather Locklear’s TV character on T.J. Hooker
A distinctly different Stacy Sheridan is a fictional character introduced in Season 2 of the 1980s television series T.J. Hooker, portrayed by Heather Locklear; multiple entertainment sources identify Officer Stacy Sheridan as the daughter of Captain Sheridan who served as a partner or team member alongside the show’s leads [2] [6] [7]. Wikipedia’s T.J. Hooker entry describes her introduction and role in the series’ later seasons, including anecdotal production and character details that place the character squarely in the show’s narrative and credit Heather Locklear with the role [2] [6] [7].
3. Other similarly named people and unreliable or anecdotal sources
Reporting also surfaced several other entries for names that sound like Stacy Sheridan: an EliteProspects profile for “Stacey Sheridan,” a collegiate-era hockey player, and an IMDb entry for “Staci Sheridan,” an actress/crew member credited on several small films, demonstrating how search results conflate near‑matches [3] [4]. Fan‑curated wikis and community posts appear in the results as well; these include fandom and historica wiki pages that either fail to load content or depend on user contributions and should be treated cautiously as they are not primary-source verification of identity or facts [8] [9]. A Substack essay titled “Whatever Happened to Stacy Sheridan?” contains highly personal and salacious reminiscences and should be treated as subjective memoir rather than authoritative biography [10].
4. How to interpret the name in future reporting and the limits of available sources
Because “Stacy Sheridan” maps to at least one living nonprofit professional tied to a politically active organization and a separate fictional television character—and because multiple similar-name records appear in sports and film databases—any accurate answer depends on which individual is intended; the supplied reporting supports identifying a Turning Point USA senior advancement director (per C‑SPAN and a recent biography) and a TV character played by Heather Locklear (per entertainment databases), but does not produce a single, consolidated life story that covers all mentions under one identity [1] [5] [2]. The supplied sources also include community‑edited and anecdotal material that vary in reliability [8] [9] [10], so further confirmation would require specifying which Stacy Sheridan is of interest or consulting primary records such as organization bios, interviews, or official credits beyond the materials provided here [1] [7].
