- "This isn’t Elijah Manley’s first run for office. In 2022, he ran twice in Democratic primaries: first in a special election for Florida House District 94, where he lost to incumbent Daryl Campbell, and again later that year in the regular primary for the newly redrawn District 99, where he was also defeated by Campbell. In 2020, he challenged incumbent Bobby DuBose in the Democratic primary for House District 94 but lost. Manley also ran for the Broward County School Board in 2018, losing to incumbent Donna Pilger Korn in a nonpartisan race. His first campaign was in 2016, when he ran as a Green Party candidate for President of the United States and — at just 17 years old — spoke at the party’s national nominating convention."
