BY ANDREW MANGIONE GET INVOLVED! VISIT AMACACTION.ORG AMAC ACTION ADVOCATE SPOTLIGHT SEAN TANNER (TX-24)
R ioters. Looting. Chaos. Autono- mous zones. A complicit liberal media and Big Tech. That was the summer of 2020. The frustration of it all was enough for Sean Tanner to become an AMAC Action Advocate later that same year. Asked about his role as Chapter Leader and filling in as a Delegate, Sean noted, “I am learn- ing from the AMAC members I inter- act with concerning how we share a core set of values and ideals. It’s been encouraging to interact with politi- cians who share our goals.” When asked about the most famous or most interesting political figure he has met, Sean recalled a memory from when he was age 20: “I hand delivered to then-Senator Joe Biden’s office over 15,000 signatures to request that he support the nomina- tion of Robert Bork to the Supreme Court. This was my first introduction to grassroots involvement in DC poli- tics, and I realized that regular people could make a difference and let our voices be heard in DC.” On the most pressing issue facing the country right now, Sean cited freedom of speech that is protected from censorship by Big Tech and the government, especially freedom of religious conscience.

In 2022, Sean and his team organized 8 Chapter meetings with an aver- age attendance of 30, including an all-North Texas AMAC meeting with 110 attendees from 13 AMAC Chapters.
Away from the political sphere, Sean and his wife dance, primarily country and swing. He also keeps in shape by cycling, running, swimming, weight- lifting, and doing yoga. “But since we welcomed our first grandchild in December 2020, my favorite thing to do in my leisure time is to visit him.”
