Zelda Briarwood is running for NC District 11's seat in Congress. Zelda's career in experiential education, wilderness therapy, crisis services, case management, and Victim's Service has instilled in her the strength to advocate for her clients. Now, she wants to advocate for all of WNC.
• Zelda's campaign focuses first and foremost on the People. Zelda believes in public service over political theatre. Zelda wants all constituents to have the tools necessary to hold elected officials accountable to the voice of the People.
• Zelda believes that EVERYONE is entitled to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
• Zelda believes that Americans DESERVE to have their basic needs met. Social Services are the safety net of the People and must be protected. Social Security and Medicare are vital Social Services that must be expanded, not reduced.
• Zelda's campaign is as grassroots as it gets. She has spent the last 2 years traveling all across WNC, being among its communities, and talking with the People. In the aftermath of Helene, Zelda worked round the clock to get WNC's banks up and running, earning her the Servant Leadership Award at her place of work, Quality Data Systems.
• Zelda felt that the camaraderie in the wake of both Helene and the wildfires was a prime example of what makes WNC strong. Zelda wants this to be the new norm.
I’ve lived in WNC for over a decade, and in that time, I’ve come to know the many communities that make these mountains home. I’m here today because of the people who showed me love, and I feel driven to give that love back. I wasn’t sure how best to do that—so I asked my community what they need and what they believe must change.
Zelda vows to put people over party and public service over political theatre. Zelda will bring accountability, advocacy, and authenticity back into the expectations of those who are chosen by the People to represent the People.Subscribe to our mailing list for updates, public appearance, and more!
