State Senate Democratic Caucus, and Protecting Our Vote, a Democratic Super PAC.
Seawright continues to serve as the senior advisor to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and the Democratic National Committee. He is currently a senior visiting fellow at Third Way, a national think-tank that champions modern center-left political ideas.
A 2008 graduate of Winthrop University, Seawright earned a master’s degree in business administration from Webster University in 2010. He is also a graduate of the Congressional Black Caucus Institute boot camp.
An active and award-winning community activist, Seawright also has a voice on the national stage as a frequent political commentator.

The Ingram Lecture is named for Dr. Booker T. Ingram Jr., PC’s first African-American professor and its first director of diversity and inclusion. Ingram retired in 2021 as the Charles Dana Professor of Political Science and was an early driving force behind the college’s celebration of Black History Month.
