Senator Sean Bowie represents Legislative District 18, which includes Ahwatukee, south Tempe, west Chandler, and southwest Mesa. Sean is serving his first term, after winning office in November 2016.

Sean and his family first moved to Legislative District 18 in 1994. A product of the Kyrene Elementary and Tempe Union High School districts, Sean graduated from Mountain Pointe High School in 2002. Sean then went on to ASU, receiving degrees in Political Science and History. Sean received his Master's degree in Public Policy and Management from Carnegie Mellon University in 2013.

Prior to serving in the Senate, Sean worked for the Provost's office at his alma mater, Arizona State University. He worked daily on issues including expanding need-based financial aid for working Arizona families, increasing resources for first-year students, and expanding online educational opportunities and increasing access for students.

Sean serves on the Senate Finance and Senate Commerce and Public Safety Committees. In addition to those committees, he is intently focused on restoring education investment to our K-12 schools and higher educational institutions.

Sean lives by the motto of his alma mater, Carnegie Mellon University, "my heart is in the work."
