In June of 2023, Tim Sheehy was a 37-year-old former Navy SEAL and decorated combat veteran running his aerial firefighting company. Then he made a bold decision — to run for the United States Senate. Eighteen months later, after the most expensive political race in history on a per-vote basis, he unseated a three-term incumbent and became the youngest Republican currently serving in the U.S. Senate.
Senator Sheehy’s story is one of leadership and service — from the battlefield to the boardroom to Capitol Hill. In this session, he’ll share what motivated him to step into politics, what he’s learned so far in Washington and how he thinks a new generation of conservative leaders can shape the future of the Republican Party and the country.
