EL'ona Kearney, a woman who embodies the qualities of a leader. She was a single mother, veteran, now wife of a union worker and a forgiveness coach. She graduated from Evergreen State College with a bachelor’s degree in business.

Growing up as the oldest of five siblings to a Christian non-denominational pastor and a Jewish father, EL'ona learned the value of advocacy and compassion early on. Her journey began in high school, where she broke barriers by spearheading unity events and demonstrating exceptional leadership as the school spirit club president.

 

With a background in Military Intelligence as a computer analyst, EL'ona gained invaluable insights into national security, defense policy, and veterans' affairs, shaping her commitment to serving those who have served. As a single mother and homeschooling parent, she self published books and founded a nonprofit organization dedicated to educating youth about the legislative process, showcasing her dedication to civic engagement and education.

 

Throughout her career, EL'ona has continued to make an impact as she advocated through lobbying for college funding, presenting bill proposals, and speaking before Senate on critical issues. Her leadership roles in veterans' organizations and student government underscore her ability to mobilize diverse groups toward common goals, while her entrepreneurial ventures highlight her commitment to promote forgiveness and unity.

EL’ona has a deep understanding of the legislative process, government operations, and advocacy for important issues.
