Denver, CO

You may have been wondering what has been keeping the author of About-Denverco so busy and away from blogging. Here’s why:

How old is your campaign manager?!?

While most young people are spending free time on their Wii or having jamm sessions with the hit game Rock Band, Sean Doherty, 21 years young, is working to make his name in politics and to someday take the center stage on the debate scene. (why not the political scene instead of the debate scene?)

And while most young people have gravitated towards a certain Democrat candidate for President, Sean Doherty has taken up a personal mission to renew the Republican Party and to educate the youth about the principles of the GOP. “I know there are plenty of other activities I should (could) be doing at my age, but I want to participate in debates (politics) as important as these. The future of my generation is on the line here and freedom waits for no one.”

After returning from the Republican National Convention in St. Paul/Minneapolis Minnesota, an experience that Sean said was refreshing coming off a week of Democrats in Denver, Sean decided to become involved in some of the local campaigns taking place. “I looked at the various campaigns being run and volunteered for a few, but the campaign that most appealed to me was George Lilly’s Congressional run in (Denver’s US Congressional District 1).” After becoming involved in the campaign and helping to coordinate some activities, Sean was made the Campaign Manager for George Lilly’s race.

Representatives of the campaign have cited Sean’s youthful energy and optimism as great assets to the campaign; he also brings with him a growing man’s appetite that leaves no leftovers at the dinner table.

When asked why he chose the Republican party and this particular campaign, Sean had this to say, “my generation may only be 29% of the population today, but we are 100% of the future, and someone needs to stand up for us. I found George Lilly to be a strong advocate for passing a better, safer, and stronger America onto the next generation and he wants to do so through the principles of the Republican Party. That works for me.”

Sean Doherty is now rolling his sleeves up, putting down the video games, and now he’s talking to Denver voters and setting up town hall meetings. He’s going to bed early, even on weekends, hoping to wake up to a better America for his generation and the next. His hard work just might pay off.
