Leadership was one of the defining attributes of the intelligent politician, Senator Ben Sasse. He served as the 15th President of Midland University and has also served in various capacities as an advisor, advisor and executive director. He has become a political issue lately as he never missed an opportunity to criticize US President Donald Trump’s policies on both social media and news platforms. This has put him in the spotlight and a lot of people have started asking who is the republican senator?

Who is Senator Ben Sasse?

Senator Ben Sasse is popularly known as a professor, politician and author. He is famous for being a major critic of Donald Trump and his policies. He was born Benjamin Eric Sasse in Plainview, Nebraska to the family of Gary Lynn Sasse and Linda Sasse, who are his parents on February 22, 1972.

His father Gary gave his family a perfect life by combining two jobs; Linda was a high school teacher and worked as a football coach for his family while his wife supported her family as little as possible.

Ben’s interest in politics began when he was a young man, earning a bachelor’s degree in government from Harvard University in 1994. In order to gain further knowledge, he completed a course in Liberal Studies at the Graduate Institute of St. John’s College, where he received a master’s degree.

As intelligent as Ben Sasse is, he went as far as possible to achieve a significant pedagogical foundation. In addition to his master’s degree in Liberal Studies, he attended Yale University, where he earned a master’s degree in art, a master’s degree in philosophy, and a doctorate in history.

career

After graduating from Harvard University in 1994, he worked as an associate consultant for the Boston Consulting Group, but resigned in 1995. By 1996 he was engaged as the Advisory Director for Christians United for Reformation (CURE). CURE saw a major shift that year when they merged with the Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals (ACE), where Ben served as Executive Director.

Ben Sasse’s career took a leap when he became the US Department of Justice’s chief of staff for legal policy from 2004 to 2005. Then there was a knock on his door and he became a part-time professor at the University of Texas. In a few years he decided to become a full-time professor.

Prior to that, he worked as a national security advisor to the US Department of Homeland Security in Washington DC. Ben is naturally gifted when it comes to counseling and he has been an adviser and adviser to the US Department of Health and Human Services, where he has acted as the focal point on health policy issues ranging from access to health care to food, safety and security.

Noting his diligence, President George Bush appointed him Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation at the US Department of Health and Human Services. Ben was favored by the Senate and later received approval for the position. He served in that position until 2009, when George Bush’s term expired.

Gaining balance in the political system, Ben Sasse chose the Senate position formerly held by Mike Johanns as a Republican. He later won the position against his Democratic opponent, David Domina, with 64.4% of the vote to Domina’s 31.5% in 2014

As election campaigns mounted in 2015, BenSasse was among numerous people opposed to Trump. To date, he has criticized most of his actions, including his firing of the former FBI director; James Comey. Recently, Ben Sasse publicly announced in a tweet that he could leave the Republican Party because of Donald Trump.

In addition to being politically active, Senator Ben Sasse has written and published two books. The Vanishing American Adult (2017) and You: Why We Hate Each Other—And How We Heal (2018) . He later worked with James Montgomery Boice as editor for the book – Here We Stand!: A Call from Professing Evangelicals for a Modern Reformation.

Wealth (income and earnings)

Efforts to find out the senator’s current net worth have proved futile as he has hidden his numbers and pulled them from the files. As of 2015, Ben Sasse was valued at $1,490,523.

wife and family life

Well, Ben Sasse’s personal life hasn’t made headlines like his political life. He has managed to keep the affairs of his wife and family secret. No one knows how long he has been married, but we do know that he is married to Mellisa Mcleod and their union had three children. Alexandra, Breck and Elizabeth. To protect his family’s privacy, his children are currently being homeschooled.
