Sean Gannon

Sean Gannon is the Ithaca Downtown Party candidate for 2nd Ward Alderperson, running as an Independent candidate for Ithaca's Common Council.

Sean believes that having an Independent voice on Common Council is essential for an effective local democracy: too much influence from a single party narrows opportunities for dynamic growth.

An entrepreneur and an artist, Sean has been involved with the Ithaca community since 1988, moving here as a full time resident in 2003. Educated in business at the Unversity of Pennsylvania and trained in fine art at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art, he is fascinated and passionate about the practicalities of economic conditions being met with intuitive, creative, artful thinking.
