<p>These are some of the <strong>top priorities</strong> our campaign is focused on.</p>

<h2>Pryorite Eliya</h2>

<p>Sistèm swen sante Ameriken an pa mache pou moun òdinè yo. Elijah kwè swen sante se yon dwa moun, e nan Kongrè a li pral batay pou sa. Nan Kongrè a, Elijah pral kofinanse yon pwogram Medicare pou tout moun. Nan Kongrè a, Elijah Manley pral mennen efò pou anile tout dèt medikal epi li sipòte retire dèt medikal sou rapò kredi.</p>

<h2>Swen sante</h2>

<p>Nan Kongrè a, Elijah planifye asire finansman pou lojman. Li pral travay ak aktè federal, Leta, ak lokal pou tabli yon plafon anyèl rezonab sou ogmantasyon lwaye yo. Manley pral defann yon asistans pou premye achte kay nan mitan $20,000 pou peman davans. Li pral bat pou gen yon defansè piblik garanti nan ka degèman, paske pèsonn pa ta dwe oblije fè fas ak sistèm jidisyè a pou kont li.</p>

<h2>Kay abòdab</h2>

<p>Elijah Manley sipòte ogmante salè minimòm federal la a $15 pa èdtan, epi salè minimòm Florid la a $20 pa èdtan anvan 2032. Elijah sipòte anile taks pou moun k ap fè mwens pase $50,000 pa ane. Li sipòte sendika, l ap pwoteje Sekirite Sosyal epi elaji benefis yo. Nan Kongrè a, Elijah Manley pral prezante epi batay pou yon Garanti Travay Federal pou pote travay nan distri nou an.</p>

<h2>Ekonomi an</h2>

<p>Elijah Manley sipòte yon chemen pou jwenn sitwayènte pou imigran san papye. Li opoze ak depòtasyon Trump yo, separasyon fanmi, epi li kont ICE. Elijah pral retabli Statut Pwoteksyon Tanporè pou migran ayisyen yo pou yo ka rete Ozetazini. Elijah Manley sipòte kominote ayisyen an, e li pral lite pou anpeche depòtasyon yo.</p>

<p><span style="color: var(--color-text-accent-secondary); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text-accent-secondary)">My name is<strong> Elijah Manley</strong></span>, and I am more than an educator and organizer — I'm a relentless fighter who knows what it means to struggle and overcome. Growing up in poverty and homelessness right here in Florida’s 20th Congressional District, I have experienced the challenges so many South Florida families face today. That’s why I am running for Congress.</p>

<h4>INFORMATION</h4>

<h1>Give Crypto</h1>

<h2>What Voters Need To Learn</h2><p>Democratic primary voters need to see <strong><em><u>immediately</u></em></strong> TV, CTV/OTT, mail, and digital ads that show Elijah Manley is a new generation of leadership who has lived the struggles working families face — and has spent his life fighting the rigged system that created them. Elijah Manley grew up homeless in Broward County and to climb out from under poverty and student debt, Elijah worked every job he could. He’s spent his life fighting back against the politicians who rigged the system — taking on the gun lobby after Parkland, and standing up to Ron DeSantis and MAGA when they tried to stop our elections, and winning. Now he’s running because the leaders of yesterday created today's problems — and Elijah is the next generation ready to fix them:</p><ul><li><p>In the wealthiest country in the world, no one should go bankrupt or die because they can't afford to see a doctor — that's why Elijah will fight to pass Medicare for All and cancel medical debt. Insurance companies and corporate middlemen shouldn't get to decide who lives or dies.</p></li><li><p>While too many Democrats have stayed silent, Elijah Manley has been clear: what is happening in Gaza is a genocide, and American taxpayer dollars should not fund it. In Congress, he will fight to condition U.S. aid to Israel on full compliance with international law — and redirect those resources back into our communities.</p></li><li><p>Trump's masked ICE agents are tearing families apart and terrorizing immigrant communities — Elijah believes that is wrong, and he will fight to abolish ICE.</p></li><li><p>Washington is rigged for billionaires and corporate insiders, and Elijah isn't afraid to say it — he'll fight to ban dark money in politics, overturn Citizens United, and end the gerrymandering that keeps corrupt politicians in power.</p></li></ul><p>Additionally, Democratic primary voters need to see TV, CTV/OTT, mail, and digital ads that Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Dale Holness and Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick are the career politicians and Washington insiders whose corruption and self-dealing built a system rigged against working families.</p><ul><li><p>Voters need to know that Debbie Wasserman Schultz has been a career politician in Washington for more than 20 years — and has used her office to enrich herself. <span style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);">She was caught</span><span style="color: var(--color-text-accent-primary); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text-accent-primary);"> <a href="https://www.opensecrets.org/news/2025/07/rep-debbie-wasserman-schultz-violates-stock-act-for-fourth-time" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: var(--color-text-accent-primary); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text-accent-primary);"><strong style="color: var(--color-text-accent-primary); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text-accent-primary);">violating federal stock disclosure law four times</strong></a></span> and <span style="color: var(--color-text-accent-primary); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text-accent-primary);"><a href="https://www.capitoltrades.com/articles/gold-timing-defense-debbie-wasserman-schultz-s-top-trades-2025-07-08" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: var(--color-text-accent-primary); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text-accent-primary);"><strong style="color: var(--color-text-accent-primary); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text-accent-primary);">bought stock</strong></a></span> in an industry she helped oversee.

<h2>Fè konesans ak Elijah Manley, yon pitit gason Broward ki gen rasin byen fon nan kominote sa a.</h2><span class="image image-framed image-left image-tilt-left" style="width: 40%;"><span class="image-inner-wrapper"><img src="https://run.imgix.net/60fea3f8-cd5a-476e-9d94-12217c4baa7f/d511c29e-c057-433f-81e4-48b29af3e4f0/d511c29e-c057-433f-81e4-48b29af3e4f0.jpeg?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=0%2C95%2C470%2C385&amp;w=1500" alt="Photo of Elijah Manley and his sister Yakirah" caption="Elijah ak sè li Yakirah, anviwon 2003" align="left" alignwidth="40" tiltdirection="left" variant="framed"></span><span class="caption" style="">Elijah ak sè li Yakirah, anviwon 2003</span></span><p>Natif natal e grandi nan kè kominote istorik Sistrunk Fort Lauderdale la, Elijah Manley konnen dirèkteman difikilte anpil fanmi nan Sid Florid ap fè fas jodi a. Leve pa yon manman selibatè ki travay di epi grandi nan povrete ekstrèm, Elijah te fè eksperyans dekowaje kay ki te dire, ensètitid manje, ak reyalite brital viv sou salè a salè. Li konnen kijan li ye pou ale lekòl grangou, pou viv san elektrisite, epi pou mande tèt li kote fanmi li ta pral dòmi nan mitan lannwit.</p><p>Men malgre tout difikilte sa yo, Elijah refize kite sikonstans li yo defini li. Kòm adolesan li te kòmanse pwòp ti biznis jadinaj li, li tap sonnen sou pòt pou jwenn lajan pou ede manman li peye bòdwo, achte pwòp materyèl lekòl li, e menm peye tikè bis pou li ka ale nan bibliyotèk la — refij li pou aprann ak grandi. Lè li te gen sèlman nèf an, eleksyon istorik Barack Obama te enspire li, sa ki limen pasyon li pou sèvis piblik. Li te kòmanse ekri bay ofisyèl eli yo, pale nan reyinyon konsèy lekòl ak vil la, epi defann koz ki afekte kominote li. Nan Fort Lauderdale High School li enskri nan pwogram maye kriminoloji ak lalwa a, li rantre nan JROTC Navy a, epi li dedye tèt li pou sèvis kominotè, resevwa rekonesans pou santèn èdtan volontarya li yo.</p><span class="image image-framed image-right image-tilt-right" style="width: 45%;"><span class="image-inner-wrapper"><img src="https://run.imgix.net/60fea3f8-cd5a-476e-9d94-12217c4baa7f/37756433-d2bd-465a-bb47-1abe87a2f5e8/37756433-d2bd-465a-bb47-1abe87a2f5e8.jpeg?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=213%2C0%2C1033%2C1246&amp;w=1500" alt="" caption="Elijah Manley nan seremoni diplòm lan" align="right" alignwidth="45" tiltdirection="right" variant="framed"></span><span class="caption" style="">Elijah Manley nan seremoni diplòm lan</span></span><p>Tirè ki te fèt nan Parkland la te boule kè Elijah e li pouse l aji; li te deside kouri pou Biwo Konsèy Lekòl Konte Broward la lè li te sèlman 19 an. Nan eleksyon ki te kouvri tout konte a, li te ranmase plis pase 43,000 vòt e li vin tounen yon vwa rekonèt nan mouvman March for Our Lives la. Detèminasyon li pa t rete la—pi ta li te kouri pou Chanm Leta Florid la, li te resevwa rekòmandasyon ak sipò kominote li nan yon kanpay ki te difisil.</p><p>Elijah Manley se pa yon lòt politisyen k ap bay pwomès vid. Li se yon defansè pou pèp la paske li menm se pèp la. Li konnen sa l ye pou lite, e li konnen sa li pran pou leve soti nan difikilte yo. Eksperyans lavi li fè li pi fò kòm avoka pou lojman abòdab, pi bon salè, ak opòtinite ekonomik reyèl pou fanmi travayè yo. Sid Florid bezwen yon lidè ki vrèman konprann doulè yo epi ki pare pou goumen pou chanjman reyèl. Lidè sa a se Elijah Manley.</p>

<h2>Meet Elijah Manley, a son of Broward with deep roots in this community.</h2><span class="image image-framed image-left image-tilt-left" style="width: 40%;"><span class="image-inner-wrapper"><img src="https://run.imgix.net/60fea3f8-cd5a-476e-9d94-12217c4baa7f/d511c29e-c057-433f-81e4-48b29af3e4f0/d511c29e-c057-433f-81e4-48b29af3e4f0.jpeg?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=0%2C95%2C470%2C385&amp;w=1500" alt="Photo of Elijah Manley and his sister Yakirah" caption="Elijah and his sister Yakirah, circa 2003" align="left" alignwidth="40" tiltdirection="left" variant="framed"></span><span class="caption" style="">Elijah and his sister Yakirah, circa 2003</span></span><p>Born and raised in the heart of Fort Lauderdale’s historic Sistrunk community, Elijah Manley knows firsthand the struggles that too many families in South Florida still face today. Raised by a hardworking single mother and growing up in deep poverty, Elijah experienced chronic homelessness, food insecurity, and the harsh realities of living paycheck to paycheck. He understands what it’s like to go to school hungry, to live without electricity, and to wonder where his family would sleep at night.</p><p>But despite these hardships, Elijah refused to let his circumstances define him. As a teenager, he started his own small landscaping business, knocking on doors to earn money to help his mother with bills, buy his own school supplies, and even afford bus passes to get to the library—his refuge for learning and growth. At just nine years old, he was inspired by Barack Obama’s historic election, igniting his passion for public service. He began writing to elected officials, speaking at school board and city council meetings, and advocating for issues affecting his community. At Fort Lauderdale High School, he enrolled in the criminal justice and law magnet program, joined the Navy JROTC, and dedicated himself to community service, earning recognition for his hundreds of volunteer hours.</p><span class="image image-framed image-right image-tilt-right" style="width: 45%;"><span class="image-inner-wrapper"><img src="https://run.imgix.net/60fea3f8-cd5a-476e-9d94-12217c4baa7f/37756433-d2bd-465a-bb47-1abe87a2f5e8/37756433-d2bd-465a-bb47-1abe87a2f5e8.jpeg?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=213%2C0%2C1033%2C1246&amp;w=1500" alt="" caption="Elijah Manley at graduation" align="right" alignwidth="45" tiltdirection="right" variant="framed"></span><span class="caption" style="">Elijah Manley at graduation</span></span><p>The devastating Parkland shooting pushed Elijah to take action, leading him to run for the Broward County School Board at just 19 years old. In that countywide race, he earned over 43,000 votes and became a recognized voice in the March for Our Lives movement. His determination didn’t stop there—he later ran for the Florida State House, gaining endorsements and the backing of his community in a hard-fought race.</p><p>Elijah Manley is not another politician who will offer empty promises. He is a champion for the people because he is the people. He knows what it’s like to struggle, and he knows what it takes to rise above it. His lived experience makes him the strongest advocate for affordable housing, better wages, and real economic opportunity for working families. South Florida needs a leader who truly understands their pain and is ready to fight for real change. That leader is Elijah Manley.</p>

This is what separates the United States from authoritarian regimes and precisely the kind of freedom Elijah Manley is running for congress to protect.</p><p>We are confident this frivolous suit will be dismissed, much like Rep.

We are confident this frivolous suit will be dismissed.."</p>

<h4>Elijah Manley for Congress Campaign Statement In Response to Suit from Rep. Cherfilus-McCormick</h4>

<p>The American healthcare system just doesn't work for regular people. Elijah believes that healthcare is a human right, and in Congress, he will fight for that. Here's how.</p><h6><span style="color: var(--color-text-accent-secondary); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text-accent-secondary);">Medicare for All</span></h6><p>In the wealthiest country in the world, no one should go bankrupt or die because they can’t afford healthcare. Insurance companies and middlemen shouldn’t get to decide who lives or dies. That’s why in Congress, <strong>Elijah will cosponsor Medicare for All</strong>.</p><h6><span style="color: var(--color-text-accent-secondary); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text-accent-secondary);">Cancel Medical Debt</span></h6><p><strong>You shouldn’t go bankrupt for going to the doctor</strong>. In Congress, Elijah Manley will lead the charge on cancelling all medical debt. Additionally, hospitals charge you one price, and insurance companies charge you another. Your hospital bills are often a moving target, which isn’t fair. <strong>Elijah Manley supports removing medical debt from credit reports</strong> and will work with stakeholders to codify this into law.</p><h6><span style="color: var(--color-text-accent-secondary); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text-accent-secondary);">Cap Prescription Drug CostS</span></h6><p>Elijah Manley supports <strong>limiting out-of-pocket prescription drug expenses for families to $2,000 a year</strong>. Elijah also supports imposing a federal cap on what big Pharma can charge for life-saving prescription drug costs, including insulin, blood thinners, and Alzheimer’s medicine.</p><h6><span style="color: var(--color-text-accent-secondary); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text-accent-secondary);">Expand Medicaid</span></h6><p>In Florida's 20th Congressional District, 17.1% of residents are uninsured, mostly because Florida has continuously refused to expand Medicaid. In District 20, 150,000 people are on Medicaid. Expanding Medicaid is vital to provide healthcare for low-income individuals. We don’t have universal healthcare, but until we get there, we need Governors to accept federal medicaid dollars. When they don’t, Elijah will support workaround legislation that forces them to.</p><h6><span style="color: var(--color-text-accent-secondary); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text-accent-secondary);">Importation of Cheaper Prescription Drugs</span></h6><p>If we can't break big Pharma's grip domestically, Elijah will support bipartisan federal legislation to allow for the safe importation of lower-cost prescription drugs from countries like Canada. <strong>You shouldn't pay 10x more for the same drug</strong>.</p><h6><span style="color: var(--color-text-accent-secondary); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text-accent-secondary);">More Hospitals, More Clinics</span></h6><p>District 20 needs more hospitals and more clinics, especially in our low-income and minority communities. Elijah renews his long-held call for federal and state investment in community health clinics, aiming for one healthcare facility in every zip code.</p><h6><span style="color: var(--color-text-accent-secondary); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text-accent-secondary);">Home Healthcare for Seniors</span></h6><p>Our seniors have spent their lives working hard for us, it's time for us to do the same for them. They deserve to live with dignity, not be neglected. Elijah will work to <strong>expand home care services and to raise wages and benefits for care workers</strong>.

<p><strong>FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE</strong></p><p><strong>February 4th, 2025</strong></p><h4><strong>Elijah Manley Announces Historic Bid for U.S. Congress in Florida’s 20th District, challenging embattled Congresswoman Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick</strong></h4><p><strong><br></strong></p><p>Fort Lauderdale, FL — Elijah Manley, a 26-year-old substitute teacher and community organizer, has launched his campaign for the Democratic nomination in Florida’s 20th Congressional District. If elected, Manley would be the youngest member of Congress, bringing with him a powerful, firsthand understanding of overcoming childhood poverty and homelessness. He is committed to championing the people of Broward and Palm Beach counties, bringing a bold and unwavering voice that will push for meaningful change in Washington.</p><p>“The people of this district deserve a member of Congress that is dedicated to their needs and understands their struggles,” said Manley. “From tackling the cost-of-living crisis to ending gun violence and ensuring healthcare for all, we need leadership focused on solutions—not scandals.”</p><p>Manley’s candidacy comes at a critical moment, as incumbent Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick faces a House Ethics Committee investigation and a state lawsuit seeking to recover $5.7 million in overpayments to her family’s healthcare company. With a razor-thin margin in the Republican-controlled House and President Donald Trump’s return to power, Democrats cannot afford vulnerabilities in this key district.</p><p>“We need a leader free from distractions and ethical baggage,” Manley continued. “Our democracy, our rights, and our futures are on the line.”</p><p>Manley’s grassroots campaign will engage voters through town halls, community organizing, and a commitment to putting people over special interests.</p><p>For more information, visit <a href="http://elijahmanley.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">elijahmanley.com</a> or follow the campaign on social media.</p><p>Media Contact:<br>Haley Green, <a href="mailto:Spokesperson￼770-713-7657￼press@elijahmanley.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Media Coordinator<br>770-713-7657<br>press@elijahmanley.com</a></p><span class="image image-framed image-left image-tilt-left" style="width: 40%;"><span class="image-inner-wrapper"><img src="https://run.imgix.net/60fea3f8-cd5a-476e-9d94-12217c4baa7f/b27d47d6-fbd1-4bc2-9d55-f6df2e1bac58/b27d47d6-fbd1-4bc2-9d55-f6df2e1bac58.jpeg?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=0%2C0%2C1215%2C741&amp;w=1500" alt="" caption="" align="left" alignwidth="40" tiltdirection="left" variant="framed"></span><span class="caption" style="display: none"></span></span><p><strong><br></strong></p>
