He was raised by his dad, a print production manager, and mom, a bookkeeper. Sean had a typical Texas childhood. He sang in the church choir and went to public schools. He found his passion in debate, where he learned to love public policy and exploring the issues facing our nation. When Sean got into Northwestern University, his family dug deep to help him afford tuition: his parents cashed in retirement savings, while Sean earned a debate scholarship and took out thousands in student loans. Sean went on to become a two-time national debate champion, and never forgot the sacrifices his parents made for him to follow his dreams.
Sean went to Baylor University School of Law and dedicated his career to standing up for the little guy, taking on shady businesses who exploited and swindled families and seniors.
He's committed to bringing people together to solve our biggest challenges: to bolster our democracy, ensure everyone can afford to see a doctor when they're sick, strengthen every school across Texas, help Texas businesses create jobs for Texans, and invest in our roads and bridges.
Sean lives in Lucas with his wife and three daughters.- We must end corruption in politics, including reducing and eliminating the influence of big money in politics.
- We must ensure that everyone in the country has affordable health care. As the wealthiest country on the planet, we can and should be able to care for our sick.
- We must strive to protect the planet and have a sustainable energy policy that promotes progress and a livable environment for future generations.
