Brighton Crossings Metropolitan District
“I had a very positive working relationship for several months with Sean Walsh on a metropolitan district campaign project in Brighton Crossings in 2021. Sean was always responsive, organized and really put his nose to the grindstone. He was completely trustworthy – and didn’t hesitate to do what was necessary for success. His hard work really paid off in the final tally of votes.”
Geol Scheirman

St. Vincent Hospital District
“Our campaign committee contacted Sean Walsh for his help just 10 weeks before a critical mill-levy increase election to save St. Vincent Hospital in Leadville. I was immediately impressed with how capably Sean created a compelling message and kept us focused, and informed our group’s successful voter contact efforts. Our 20-point margin of victory – exactly the opposite result of our committee’s defeat one year prior – was due in large part to Sean’s valuable contributions.”
Dennis Johnson
St. Vincent Hospital District Board Chairman
Scientific and Cultural Facilities District
“Sean co-managed an important Colorado ballot initiative in 2016 to a 63% victory. He is a seasoned Colorado operative with a wide array of relationships across the state. His political acumen is sharp and his team building skills – he knows when to lead and when to follow – are exemplary.”

Pam Howard,
Board of Education member
Crested Butte Fire Protection District
“In 2021 our District was interested in pursuing a major bond initiative for new facilities. Having limited experience with public engagement and polling, Sean Walsh came highly recommended to us. Sean and his colleagues helped us to manage the process and obtain a thorough understanding of our local political landscape.
“Sean worked closely with our board members and staff to ensure the politics of the issue were considered with diligence and intention. His ability to help us navigate rural, small-town and hyper-local issues was also much appreciated.
“In the end our voters approved the measure by a substantial margin and we were grateful for Sean’s expert assistance.”

Land Use
“Over the last twenty years I have partnered with Sean on four separate controversial land uses issues in Weld and Larimer Counties. In each case, despite some very robust political headwinds, our clients’ projects prevailed – in large part because of Sean’s contributions on the strategic communication and public education front. Sean really goes all in for his clients and his team. He is my “go-to” partner for community engagement and communication.”
Tom Haren
President and CEO, AgProfessionals
“Sean worked wonders for a developer client whose proposed gravel extraction project faced strong community opposition in Weld County. He tactfully and calmly advised our client, managed the community education effort, handled the news media and ultimately directed the victorious effort at the ballot box to preserve our client’s property rights.”
