Candidate: New York City Council / District 45

Elijah Diaz (R) (C)

Candidate Site

As a young entrepreneur, Elijah Diaz sharpened his expertise in marketing for small businesses and nonprofits; educating, branding and financially securing businesses across New York City.

Now, at age 22, he is running for New York City Council in District 45 as the youngest candidate ever to run for the seat, as well as the first competitor of the Democratic Party in the district.

His slogan, “Leadership of the New Era,” reflects his brand as the inspiration to the youth in civic engagement and entrepreneurship, and reveals him as the prodigy of the Conservative movement in New York City.
