Who is Elaine?

Elaine Walters is a lifelong resident of Essex county, the natural resources in this area have inspired a love of nature and the environment, which has been the basis of her career thus far. She obtained an associate’s degree from Rappahannock Community College and completed a bachelor’s degree in Marine Biology and Sustainability Leadership from Old Dominion University. At these institutions, she learned about the ecological balance between land and water that characterizes our area. There are many unique challenges we will face as the climate changes and the sea rises, and Elaine learned about these challenges from the people who understand them best: farmers and watermen.

After graduating in 2023, Elaine has been traveling all over the world to help save our environment, specializing in protecting nesting loggerhead sea turtles and ensuring their hatchlings have a safe route to the ocean. Her most notable travels have been to the Mojave Desert, where she observed efforts to integrate solar power effectively into urban and rural landscapes, and to the African island nation of Cape Verde, where she experienced and helped build important bonds between ecological restoration and social systems. These bonds helped uplift the community, create better economic opportunities, and establish higher levels of equality. These experiences highlighted the need for innovative community-based solutions within in her home district. This insight, and the conviction that choice and equality are vitally important to the democratic system, has led to the beginning of her campaign to run for House of Delegates in Virginia’s 68^th District.
