Hi, my name is Sean.

Sean on his street in Richfield

I’ve been honored to serve as Ward 2’s voice at the Richfield City Council since 2021, and I’m running for reelection this year.

I’ve been showing up for Richfield since I moved here in 2012, and it’s been my honor to serve on the City Council. On the Council, I’ve helped lead on transportation and housing issues, as well as supporting our broader efforts toward good governance and effective teamwork.

I’m running for reelection, and I need your support.

Sean Shows Up.
Literally.

I used the slogan “Sean Shows Up” in my 2020 campaign materials, a reflection of my work volunteering in the community for years. And I’ve proven that, by consistently showing up at nearly 200 council meetings and dozens of community events — ready to work for the best for our community.

Between my swearing-in date of January 11, 2021 and January 11, 2024, the City Council had 193 meetings. I was there serving Richfield in 191 of those meetings.

But the best parts of serving Richfield aren’t found at City Hall.

Here are some of my favorite memories from around Richfield since 2021:
