Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I was born in a Denver suburb, raised by a working class single mother who instilled into me many of the values that I hold dear. I have always had a love of music, picking up piano when I was five and participating in many musical ventures throughout my life. I discovered a love of politics around the age of ten when I became more aware of the world’s vast injustice. I dabbled in a plethora of political philosophies, eventually finding my intellectual home in the values that founded this nation: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

I have been heavily invested in national, state, and local politics for almost seven years, working with people of all backgrounds and political persuasions. I find that the more I do this, the more I love America, the more I love Colorado, and the more I love my fellow citizens that make our communities great. I have found that, despite what we are led to believe, we have a lot in common. That’s why I am building my campaign on peace, love, and common welfare.

My name is Sean Vadney, and I’m a Libertarian running for Secretary of State, because I believe in sticking to our values, we can create a state that works much better for all of us.

I will produce a public Accessible Voting Report—a real, transparent document that identifies where our system is failing and what we are going to do about it.

We will implement mandatory accessibility training for every poll worker—so no voter is ever left standing there while someone “figures it out.”

We will ensure standardized accessible voting equipment statewide—including audio ballots, tactile interfaces, and systems that allow voters to cast their ballot privately, without relying on another person.

We will establish clear, legal assistance protocols—so voters are not forced into gray areas or illegal workarounds just to participate in democracy.
