About Sean McCann

Meet SEAN

Father. Husband. Public Servant.

Sean McCann has dedicated his career to making life better for people in Southwest Michigan.

From cracking down on slumlords, to leading disaster relief with the Red Cross, helping attract new jobs and businesses to Michigan and expanding tax relief for working families as State Senator, Sean believes when you work hard, put politics aside and focus on what matters, you can get things done.

Now, Sean is running for Congress because he knows Washington needs to focus on what matters to regular people – like protecting health care and Medicaid, not cutting it; getting costs down, not exploding the national debt; helping small businesses grow, not giving huge tax breaks to special interests; and letting women make their own health care decisions, instead of politicians making it for them.

A Strong voice for Southwest Michigan

Born and raised in Michigan, Sean attended Western Michigan University, became a Kalamazoo City Commissioner, State Representative and now serves as a State Senator in Southwest Michigan. He has built a reputation among Democrats and Republicans alike as a serious problem-solver and a strong voice for families trying to make ends meet.

As a husband and father helping raise his family, Sean will fight hard for everyone and is exactly the kind of leader we need right now in Washington.

Role Summary: State Senator

State senators write and vote on state laws and the state budget, and in most states they also confirm the Governor's appointments. In most states the senate is the smaller of the legislature's two chambers, with larger districts and longer terms than the house.
