Ben Sheehan

There’s a lot that we need to care about and sometimes it can seem a bit daunting… and even shameful, if we don’t know enough about the things we should know about! One area we have set out to learn more about is how the heck government works and how can we not feel so helpless?

That’s where Ben Sheehan comes in.

His goal is to make regular civic participation — even beyond voting — a regular part of all of our daily lives, like flossing our teeth -- we do it a little bit, every day, and it's good for our overall long-term health (both individually and as a country)

Formerly an award-winning producer at Funny Or Die, Sheehan uses his experience in comedy and his education and unique upbringing in Washington to create easy-to-understand, non-intimidating, comedic videos to teach people about how our government works and how we can all make an impact.

Originally from the D.C. area, Sheehan graduated with high honors from Emory University with a B.A. in Political Science and American Studies, and holds an M.A. in Music Business from New York University. The videos he’s been involved with have received over a billion views. For the 2016 election, his comedic videos helped get 50,000 voters registered! In 2018 he was named one of the entertainment industry’s “NextGen: 35 Rising Executives Under 35” by The Hollywood Reporter.
