Ted Severson

Ted grew up in a politically active family in South Dakota where he gained a lifelong passion for Democratic politics. In 2002, he knocked on thousands of doors and made hundreds of phone calls for Senator Tim Johnson’s re-election campaign. In 2006, Ted worked as a researcher, producer, and video editor for a 527 and PAC working to elect more progressive legislators and successfully overturn the controversial anti-abortion law enacted by the Republican state legislature and governor. He was also a field volunteer and GOTV coordinator for a variety of city council, mayoral, and gubernatorial races in South Dakota.

Throughout high school and college, Ted worked in the production department at KEVN-TV as an audio engineer, assistant technical director, and motion graphic designer.

Ted graduated from the University of Denver in 2007 with a degree in Digital Media Studies (which is the fancy name for the junction of computer science, graphic design, web development, and mass communications). During his time in Denver, he also interned in KUSA-TV‘s engineering department.

He’s currently taking classes at The George Washington University‘s Graduate School of Political Management.
