Sean Patrick Feeney, an honors graduate of Holmes High School in Covington, KY, has been involved with the Democratic Party since 2003 when he began canvassing for the Kentucky chapter.
In 2004 he became a founding officer of the first state-chartered high school Young Democrat's Club in the state.
In 2006, as a college freshman, he founded the Rose-Hulman College Democrats at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, once one of the most conservative (yet politically uninvolved) campuses in the US. His other political actions include:
- In 2001, lobbyist training in Washington, DC with ProSpace, after which he briefed the congressional staff of US Representatives Ron Lewis, Mike Pence, Don Sherwood, Dennis Moore and of Senator Mitch McConnell on space-related issues.
- In 2004, elected to the House of Representatives of the American Legion's Kentucky Boys' State and served as Chairman of the House Committee on Labor, Education, Health and Welfare. Several of his bills passed both houses and were signed into mythical law by the elected Governor.
- In 2004 he also began a Freedom's Answer chapter at his high school and rallied students to obtain non-partisan voting pledges from family and friends old enough to vote. As School Coordinator of Freedom's Answer, he helped organize a 9/11 Ceremony to kick-off the pledge drive and honor the local police and fire departments as well as local veterans, and later in the year he helped organize and run a "Support the Troops" drive.
- In 2005 he was commissioned a Kentucky Colonel by the Governor of the State of Kentucky, a commission that has become "synonymous with strength of character, leadership and dedication to the welfare of others." He is possibly the youngest person to ever receive this commission.
- In 2006 he canvassed and phone banked for the Indiana Democratic Party's GOTV operation. His candidate received 71% of the vote in the county he canvassed, and 61% of the vote overall, turning a twelve-year red district into a blue district.
- In 2008 he was elected as a Vigo County delegate to the Indiana Democratic Party Convention.
