Meet Christian
Candidate for El Paso County Commissioner, District 5
Secretary, YDA Asian Pacific Islander Caucus
Organizer. Activist. Proudly rooted in Colorado.
Christian Seale has been organizing and advocating for working families right here in El Paso County and now he’s running to bring that same energy to county government. He’s a bold, grassroots leader with deep local ties and a clear vision for El Paso County’s Future.
Growing up, Christian had a troubled childhood riddled with abuse and neglect before ending up in the Foster Care system. There he was lucky enough to be taken in by a loving family who helped to make him the man he is today. Coming from a working-class background, Christian knows how important it is for our residents to have the opportunity to work for and achieve the American Dream. After spending his entire adult life in Colorado Springs, Christian has seen first-hand the value that our hard-working residents bring to our communities and he is ready to represent the interests of everyday, working families on El Paso County’s Board of Commissioners.
While still early, Christian’s political career and community leadership have been defined by vision and action. After working for various non-profit organizations, Christian went on to re-establish The El Paso County Young Democrats and help quickly grow the organization into one of the biggest groups of young organizers and activists within the Colorado Democratic Party. During his leadership in 2023, The El Paso County Democratic Party awarded Christian with the Party’s Rising Star Award. Shortly after, he helped the county party launch the Latino Outreach Alliance, a Latino focused advocacy and outreach organization within the local Democratic party structure. While working to establish and nurture the party’s grassroots connections to our communities, he was also traveling across the state to recruit fellow young organizers and help them establish their own local chapters of The Colorado Young Democrats.
Having been raised in poverty and later aging out of Arizona’s foster care system, Christian entered the workforce focused on the economy and motivated to make a difference in the world around him. Early into his adult life, he made El Paso County his home and began working in the non-profit sector. While doing that work, Christian soon realized that Colorado Springs needed progressive voices and leaders to step up and volunteer to fight for our residents and communities on a local level. So that is exactly what he did: helping to organize marginalized groups within our communities, fighting against bad referendums and bills at across all levels of government, and ensuring that everyone’s voice in El Paso was heard.
