Get to Know Council Member Don Sheehan
With its consistent recognition as one of Colorado’s safest communities—with all the city amenities, District 4 Council Member Don Sheehan has called Centennial home since the ‘90s. Taking notice of the City’s well-run structure with innovative plans for future growth, Don was appointed to Centennial’s Senior Commission in 2018. While serving the commission and familiarizing himself with City operations, City Council Members, the Mayor, and City employees, he felt his call to government service. As a result, he successfully ran to represent District 4 in 2018. As District 4’s Council Member, Don understands Centennial faces growth challenges like every Colorado community and is proud to serve the City and guide it into a new decade.
In addition to his service as District 4’s Council Member, Don enjoys the great Colorado outdoors and lifestyle, from hiking and kayaking to 4x4 exploration of the backcountry. He can also cook a decent meal! A self-proclaimed ‘want-to-be fly fisherman’ working to develop his golf game eventually, Don is also a sporting clay enthusiast who spends time traveling, jamming to music and adding to his collection of political buttons. Council Member Sheehan is a graduate of Mount Union University and holds a B.A. in Business Administration.
