Elijah is a lifelong community organizer. With roots in Denver, Elijah grew up in Adams County, the Wirral, and Bailey before moving to Golden in 2022.

He started advocating for change when he was only twelve years old when he and his family traveled to the Standing Rock Indian Reservation to protest against the Dakota Access Pipeline. From there, Elijah’s advocacy grew to gun violence prevention and student rights.

A short time later, Elijah became involved with party politics and joining some local campaigns. He’s worked with the Colorado Democratic Party Coordinated Campaign in two separate cycles to elect Democrats up and down the ballot. He’s also worked with a number of congressional, legislative, and local candidates.
