Is Madison Sheahan married? What to know about ex-ICE Deputy Director's family
Madison Sheahan resigned as ICE deputy director to run for Congress as a Republican in the 9th District. She is not publicly known to be married.
Madison Sheahan, the Deputy Director of the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), resigned on Thursday, announcing that she will run for Congress in Ohio on a Republican ticket. Sheahan will make a bid for the US House from the 9th District, a Democratic stronghold, looking to flip it in the upcoming midterms.
Amid her declaration to run for the US Congress, the 28-year-old's family life has come into focus. A key question that everyone seems to be asking is whether former ICE Number 2 is married. Sheahan is not married. No details on whether she has a partner have been publicized.
Sheahan announced her decision to challenge Democratic Party House Rep Marcy Kaptur from Ohio's 9th District, which includes the city of Toledo, in a video on Thursday. Kaptur is one of the longest-serving members of Congress, being elected to the US House always since 1983.
She appeared to pitch her campaign on illegal immigration, saying in the video that she has "stopped more illegal immigration than Marcy Kaptur has in her 43 years in Washington,” in less than a year.
