Dr Scott Sheeran has lived many lives before throwing his hat in the ring for Wellington Central. He went from being “famous for not turning up at school”, and sporting dreadlocks while in a university band, to becoming a published author on human rights law and working multiple stints at the UN. Most recently, Sheeran has been in Abu Dhabi, working as senior legal counsel to the United Arab Emirates Government. Last month, he packed up and moved back to Wellington with his family to try his luck at politics.Despite running for a seat that National hasn't won since 1978, he's confident that he has a chance. “I don't know what's going to happen, but I certainly don't feel like I'm somehow handicapped.”Website: salient.org.nz Magazine Instagram: @salientgram Podcast Instagram: @salient_podcasts This podcast is a Salient Podcasts Production.
