Foreign Policy
Stand with Ukraine
Elijah Manley unequivocally and firmly stands with the Ukrainian people against Russia’s brutal invasion. A strong U.S.-Ukraine relationship is necessary to push back against Russian aggression, protect European stability, and bolster international law. In Congress, Elijah will stand with Ukrainians by supporting sanctions and humanitarian & military aid. The U.S. should support diplomacy between Ukraine and Russia, but any peace deal must include full Ukrainian sovereignty, including the return of Crimea, all occupied territories, and the withdrawal from Ukrainian territory.
Support for NATO
NATO is a vital force for peace, democracy, and global stability. In Congress, Elijah will strengthen U.S. partnerships with our allies to deter Russian aggression, uphold international law, and fight authoritarianism.
Stand with Taiwan
Taiwan's right to self-determination and democracy is an American priority. In Congress, Elijah will work to strengthen U.S.-Taiwan relations, deter aggression from China, promote peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region, and aggressively fight Chinese aggression in the South China Sea.
Israel-Palestine
Elijah Manley believes in the right to peace, dignity, and safety for both Israelis and Palestinians, including Israel and Palestinian right to self determination and the right to exist. He calls for the continuation of the ceasefire, the release of ALL hostages immediately, and an end to the violence that has devastated Gaza and endangered civilians in both Israel and Palestine. The U.S. must lead with diplomacy, and provide humanitarian aid for Gaza.
Elijah condemns Hamas terrorists for the brutal and unacceptable October 7th, 2023, terror attack that claimed the lives of 1,300 Israeli civilians and the kidnapping of hundreds more. He also condemns the far-right Netanyahu government for its bombardment of Gaza, illegal settlement expansion in the West Bank, and blockade of humanitarian aid.
In Congress, Elijah will be an advocate for a just and lasting peace rooted in the value of human rights, an end to violence and suffering, and security for both peoples.
Iran
Elijah supports rejoining and expanding the Iran Nuclear Deal. He also believes in targeted sanctions on the Ayatollah's despotic regime without harming civilians. Empowering the Iranian people to fight the Ayatollah's authoritarianism will continue to be a key policy focus of Elijah. Preventing Iran from getting a nuclear weapon is a key U.S. objective—but it must be done through strong diplomacy, and smart negotiations, not unilateral military action.
Restore American Leadership Through Humanitarian Aid
Humanitarian and development aid are essential to America’s global leadership and to South Florida’s role as a gateway to the world. The United States should help our neighbors like Haiti and Jamaica when natural disasters strike. For more than a century, our strategic investments in food, medicine, education, and economic growth have saved lives and reduced the pressures that drive migration. In Congress, Elijah will work to expand foreign aid to two percent of the federal budget and restore American leadership on the world stage.
INTERNATIONAL TRADE
Elijah Manley supports free and fair trade. The United States plays an important role in fostering free trade on the International stage, while promote Democratic values abroad. Chinese competition has threatened both U.S. national security, and global stability. Elijah Manley will oppose Trump's illegal tariffs.
