About Sean Lux
With a passion for justice and a deep understanding of our community, I am dedicated to upholding the law and serving the people of Charlotte County with integrity and fairness. Please vote for Sean Lux for Charlotte County Judge, Group 1.
MY COMMITTMENT
One thing that all Florida attorneys have in common is that they all take an oath to support the Constitution of the United States.
What sets me apart is that not only did I take this oath to support the Constitution, but years ago as I enlisted in the United States Air Force I swore to defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
As a judicial candidate, my commitment to the U.S. Constitution is unwavering and fundamental to my approach to the law. The Constitution serves as the bedrock of our legal system, embodying the principles of justice, equality, and individual rights that are essential to a free and democratic society.
Above all, I understand that as a judge, my duty is to uphold the rule of law and administer justice impartially, without fear or favor. I will approach each case with an open mind, carefully considering the arguments and evidence presented before rendering a fair and reasoned decision consistent with the principles of the Constitution.

Eventually, he obtained both a bachelor's in computer systems and master's degree in business administration, which he put to use as a defense contractor, writing software for our Nation's missile defense systems.
Eventually, Lux found his true calling and enrolled at Ave Maria School of Law, excelling in academics and graduating early with honors. Sean's legal career began as an Assistant State Attorney, prosecuting a diverse array of cases in Lee and Charlotte Counties, from misdemeanors like theft and DUIs to specializing in complex economic and progressing to work as part of the Special Victims Unit, prosecuting the most serious of offenses. This foundational experience sharpened Sean's trial skills and deepened his understanding of the judicial system's intricacies.
In order to develop a more well-rounded perspective of the law, Sean left the State Attorney's Office to work as a private Criminal Defense Attorney, quickly becoming a very well respected trial attorney. Currently a partner at Ruhl & Lux, P.A., Sean's practice is dedicated to defending individuals across a spectrum of legal challenges, from traffic violations to serious offenses such as vehicular homicide and sexual battery.

In addition to Collier-Lee Honor Flight, Sean is a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW), has served with Rotary International, and has been active with the American Legion. He has also volunteered his time and expertise to assist with local High School mock trial competitions.
Sean has received countless awards for his efforts with Collier-Lee Honor Flight, was recognized as a Paul Harris Fellow for his service and dedication to Rotary International, and was honored by Naples Illustrated by being named as a "Super Man" of 2017.
Sean has proudly called Southwest Florida home for over 20 years, with the last six and a half years spent as a full-time resident of Charlotte County with his wife Debi. Together, they share a passion for rescuing animals and currently provide a loving home for four cats and two dogs.
