All rights reserved | Virtually all of his very large family (he's the tenth of eleven siblings!) still lives in Hayward, and having experienced a quintessential small-town childhood Sean wanted nothing less for his own family. Now, nine year old Evita, seven year old Jack, five year old Lucia-Belen, three year old John-Paul, and one year old Paloma are growing up surrounded by the idyllic beauty and solid values of northwestern Wisconsin. Not surprisingly, as soon as Sean's kids learn to walk, he teaches them how to logroll and they perform in logrolling exhibition and competitions throughout the region. Sean believes that much is at stake in the 2010 cycle for his children, and the 7th District. If his Congressional bid is successful, he knows he will be taking an important step to preserve Wisconsin values and the Wisconsin way of life. |
