Hello! My name is
Sean Freeman
I was born & raised in a suburb of Chicago with my three younger siblings.
I attended St. Ignatius in Chicago, and moved to the 11th district to go to John Carroll University.
At John Carroll, I worked three on-campus jobs and was heavily involved.
I Feed the homeless around Cleveland
Taught 8th graders about their rights as U.S. citizens
&
Played basketball, wrote and read poetry with kids in juvenile detention.
And, I learned the stories & policies of Immigration through 3 Immersion Trips to:
2016: Immokalee, Florida
2016-17: The U.S. - Mexico Border
2018: El Salvador
​​
Through these experiences, I learned more about U.S. foreign policy, how it has impacted immigration for the last 50 years, and the current conditions of the drug trade and farmworkers here in the U.S.
With the help of classmates and university officials, I led on-campus demonstrations, brought farmworkers to Cleveland to speak to over 500 students, booked them on a local Cleveland radio show, and led a boycott on national businesses that profited off of inhumane farming conditions here in the USA.
Due to my involvement in Cleveland and my actions for national and international issues, I was awarded a service award on JCU's campus.
A year later, I received the Newman Civic Fellowship -- a prestigious national award given by a university's president to one student recognized for their leadership in social justice.
As part of the fellowship, I, with a delegation of 200-some others, travelled to the Kennedy Center for a weekend of conferences in an auditorium design to be an exact replica of our American Congress on Capitol Hill.
Over the last seven years, my jobs have included:
- Salesman for an ed-tech startup
- Analyst for a hedge fund
- Fast food cook & drive-thru operator
- Anti-Money Laundering Analyst
- Bartender
& Campaign volunteer for the Honorable Justin M. Bibb
After helping on the Mayor's campaign, I participated in State Senator Matt Dolan's campaign for U.S. Senate.
Then, I set out on my own campaign.
I wanted to put my experiences in Cleveland, nationally and internationally, to work -- to help people the best way I could.
Every day after work, I spoke to people in this District. People wanted more than someone who said the things they agreed with -- they wanted Action.
I gathered 6,000 signatures, which lead to 6,000 votes. While I lost, I reached those who had been ignored by the establishment and reinvigorated dedicated citizens who are hungry for better.
Despite no major news coverage or televised debate, the Library of Congress reached out to add my website to its online archive.
After my unsuccessful run, I needed to work for my family, but I wanted to do work that would still help people in our District. I wanted to marry my knack for sales with my ideals for greater public good.
Then came DigitalC.
I am DigitalC's first Fellow, employed to help the local non-profit achieve their goal of connecting Clevelanders with high speed internet for just $18/month.
In my first year, I accounted for more than half the company's sales, and this past 2025, DigitalC met its goal with the City of Cleveland.
In today's age, with the rule of law being bent every which way, except for the people's benefit, I do not want to lose any opportunity to be of service to this district, and to my nation.
What I was raised to to, what I find interesting, what I feel called to do -- Is to make life better for my neighbors near and far, across the country.
Lawmakers have the ability to make life affordable, help everyone feel safe, and give everyone the chance to prosper. We can do it, because we HAVE done it!
Government-funded Child Care during WWII
77%
The Tax Rate on the Wealthiest 1% in 1964
These are the times elders refer to me as 'the good ole days.' Why can't we return to that economic prosperity?
This time, we will bring everyone with us into the prosperity that was once left only for white men.
I do not want to be a politican. I want to be a lawmaker.
A lawmaker that demonstrates it is possible to care for each other & prosper.
