Picture
Sharon McMahon is on a mission to curate facts, fun, and inspiration by educating Americans on democracy, politics, and history. 

After years of serving as a high school government and law teacher, Sharon took her passion for education to Instagram with a mission to combat political misinformation with non-partisan facts on matters of national importance. Sharon has earned a reputation as “America’s Government Teacher'' and quickly amassed over 711K followers (and counting), affectionately known as “Governerds.” Sharon is also the host of the top-rated Sharon Says So Podcast where, each week, she provides entertaining yet factual accounts of America’s most fascinating moments and people in history. She also hosts meaningful discussions with some of the nation’s most inspiring thought leaders, government officials, and authors. 

In a time where flashy headlines and false information often takes the spotlight, Sharon is a reliable source for truth and logic. She was recognized, on March 16, 2022, as Communicator of the Year at the PR Week U.S. awards ceremony on Wall Street in New York City. Sharon has shared her knowledge with CNN, The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, and Good Morning America. 

In all that she does, Sharon encourages others to be compassionate, thoughtful, and world-changing humans. She has led her “Governerd” community in various philanthropic initiatives that have raised over $3.6 million for teachers, domestic violence survivors, terminally ill children, victims of COVID-19, medical debt forgiveness and more.
