Dictatorship
Main article: Leadership of Willemstan's Dictators and Presidents
Sean served as the fourth Dictator of Willemstan. He was in power from the Winter 2019 Election until he was removed from power during the June 2020 Coup. As you may have guessed, his reign was very controversial due to the Willemstan 1.1 Reforms, which were mostly gutted after he was removed from power. However, the early months of his Dictatorship were met with widespread approval, so his overal reputation was very mixed.
Sean served as the sixth Dictator of Willemstan. He won the Winter 2020 Election, and remained in power until the Summer 2021 Election. During his second dictatorship, he approved a total overhaul of the election process, the development of an internment center for unwanted members, and the establishment of a Willemstan Salt Mine. He also lead Willemstan to war against r/Williamston for a final time.
Political Record
Sean ran during the Winter 2018 Election, in which he was defeated and came in last place, earning only 10% of the vote.
Sean ran again during the Winter 2019 Election, in which he ran on joke policies such as mandatory water consumption. He narrowly won the election by a single vote, and thus became Dictator.
Sean ran once again during the Winter 2020 Election, despite the controversy behind his previous dictatorship. He won the election by nine votes, the greatest lead since the very first Willemstan election.
Despite promising to run in every Willemstan election, Sean did not run as a candidate for the Summer 2021 Election. Following this, he was banned under the New Articles of Willemstan from seeking the position of Dictator again.
Voting Record
Sean has not directly participated in voter fraud, but he has encouraged it on several occasions.

For the Winter 2019 Election, Sean voted for Andrew Batten, but participated in voter fraud for his own benifit.
