Meet Sean

Sean Bielat is a family man, business man, and a Marine. In 2010, Sean's campaign to retire Barney Frank and to represent Massachusetts 4th Congressional District received national attention. Despite running against a 16-term incumbent, in a highly gerrymandered district, and being outspent by $2 million, the Bielat for Congress campaign managed to get within striking distance of victory.

Sean's success was based on beliefs that resonated with people across the 4th District. His experience and accomplishments have shaped these beliefs:
 
— As a businessman, Sean believes in focusing on economic growth and fiscal responsibility
 
— As a Marine, he believes in peace through strength
 
— As an American, he believes in a return to Constitutional values and citizen-legislators
 
Sean's career highlights include—
  • Major, U.S Marine Corps Reserve
     
  • Independent Consultant. Helped client companies build market strategies
     
  • Program Manager, iRobot Corporation. Led $100 million, 100 person business line providing life-saving defense robots used to destroy roadside bombs in Iraq and Afghanistan
     
  • Chairman, NATO Industrial Armaments Group. Led an international team studying the potential for use of advanced reconnaissance technology in urban warfare
     
  • Management Consultant, McKinsey & Company
