Walter and I had the pleasure of sitting down with Elldwnia English, a candidate running for Congress in Maryland’s 5th district.
Elldwnia is funding her run out of pocket to prove a point:
💰 Money should not be a barrier to running for office or representing the people.
She accepts zero campaign donations—not a dime from corporations, not a cent from PACs, and no endorsements.
Her campaign is powered entirely by teens, neurodivergent adults, the elderly, and disabled individuals—groups that are often overlooked in traditional politics. If you identify with any of these communities and are looking for a way to volunteer, please reach out!
What Elldwnia Stands For:
Centering vulnerable humans: She is fighting for everyone, but specifically for disabled children, the elderly, and the unhoused, arguing that a society is only as strong as its weakest link.
Education & Healthcare: She advocates for teachers to be paid like doctors, free school lunches (and food to take home), and tuition-free public college and trade schools.
Digital Justice: She calls for the regulation of harmful social media algorithms that endanger our youth.
Grassroots Democracy: She rejects tactics like yard signs and phone banks, and prefers face-to-face conversations and empowering young people to lead the charge.
How You Can Help:
Volunteer: Whether you’re a teen, a disabled adult, or an elder, she has a place for you!
Show Up: Elldwnia is hosting sit-downs at local cafes throughout her district. She wants to talk to her constituents to hear their issues directly.
