Do you think Sean should run for office in 2026?
Sean Diamond
In 2024, Sean ran as an independent candidate affiliated with the Forward Party for the 9th Middlesex House District, which includes most of Waltham. During this race, Sean was the first candidate in Massachusetts to have the political designation of Forward next to their name on the ballot and led the petition effort to establish the Forward Party as an officially recognized political designation.
In 2025, Sean helped to officially launch the Massachusetts Forward Party Political Action Committee, serving from May 4th until September 14th as the Vice Chair.
Currently, Sean is in the process of writing a book that emphasizes the need to respect everyone’s time and attention and explores what this means in practical terms.
Respect for Everyone’s Time & Attention
Sean ran for office in the Watch City to prioritize respect for everyone’s time and attention in government, business, and society.
Social Media Presence & Contacting Sean
In the modern political era, it is very common to use social media to reach others who might have a similar world view. However, as someone advocating for respecting everyone’s time and attention, Sean could not in good conscience embrace the use of certain social media companies whose business models are fundamentally eroding the world’s ability to focus, collecting and selling personal information with little regard for user privacy, and blowing up civil discourse in the pursuit of ad revenue.
Sean prefers to meet folks in person, but he understands that is not always possible. To stay engaged with the local community and others digitally, Sean will be posting relevant information only on platforms with ethical business models. Please feel free to contact Sean directly on this website or look for Sean on Reddit (notably the Waltham subreddit) and on Nextdoor (a neighborhood based app).
