| Info | My name is Elizabeth Melson and I am running for State Senate, District 28, as an Independent. I'm a mom, wife, small business owner, farmer, and advocate for voters-first reforms. I'm a formerly justice-impacted person, who has chosen to return to the carceral system to offer trauma-informed programming to residents at RSW Regional Jail.
I have extensive experience in grassroots organizing and citizen advocacy for good governance reforms, regenerative agriculture and consumer sovereignty, solar energy, sentencing reform, rights restoration, and I have advocated for meaningful programming in our corrections systems.
I've been elected or appointed to state-wide boards, including time on Virginia Farmers Market Association and Virginia Hemp Coalition boards. I am co-founder and former President of FairVote Virginia. Most recently, I was appointed to Rappahannock County Board of Social Services. I know my way around the General Assembly and US Congress and have made connections with electeds and non-partisan leaders all across Virginia and the US.
I have a broad network of hard-working friends and business owners, who span the political spectrum. I have enjoyed promoting their businesses through special events, collaborations, and connecting people to opportunities.
My occupation is a Farm and Farmers Market Manager and a Yoga Instructor. When I'm not working, I enjoy spending time outdoors gardening, hiking, training with my dogs, cheering my daughter on at soccer games and equestrian activities, and family travel with my husband, who is a chef.
