Finding Your Voice in Local Government with Jalin Sead

In this episode of Community Ties, host Romney Donald sits down with Jalin Sead, Majority Leader of the Norwalk City Council and Commissioner of the First Taxing District of Norwalk. The conversation explores his path into public service and what it means to serve in a local government role where community voice, accountability, and compromise all play a critical part in decision-making. He shares how residents can better prepare themselves to engage in civic spaces, and why early participation matters before issues reach formal council discussions in Norwalk. Sead also opens up about the personal side of leadership, including fatherhood, maintaining his health, and prioritizing mental wellness while balancing the demands of public service. The conversation offers a grounded look at leadership as both a public responsibility and a personal practice, shaped by lived experience and ongoing commitment to community. His perspective reflects what it means to stay rooted while navigating the complexity of service, and to continue showing up for a community in ways that are both intentional and human.
