Broadway Democrats Spotlight: Liam Elkin
Click here for the Liam Elkind Interview
Liam Elkind, 22 and a senior at Yale University double majoring in Ethics, Politics, and Economics and Global Affairs and a recently announced recipient of a Rhodes Scholarship, is one of the newest members of the Broadway Democrats Steering Committee. A lifelong resident of the Upper West Side and Morningside Heights, Elkind co-founded a non-profit, Invisible Hands, in March 2020 to help deliver groceries and medicine to New York residents most at risk during the Covid pandemic. The non-profit is now transitioning to address food insecurity and has expanded into Westchester, Long Island, parts of New Jersey, and will soon be in Atlanta.
Broadway Democrats Steering Committee Members and Go Blue Co-Chairs, Laura Danford Mandel and Mary Peppito, sat down via Zoom with Liam as he is finishing his last semester at Yale and he is gearing up to start his graduate studies in October 2022 in comparative government between the United States and the United Kingdom - specifically reform, campaign financing and voting rights - at the University of Oxford as part of the Rhodes Scholarship.
“I tend to think about my career and my life less in terms of the positional authority I will have or the job title I will hold and more in terms of the impact that I can make … so whatever that position is where I can be doing the work that overlaps my greatest passions with the world’s greatest needs, which is for me, democracy reform … Wherever I can have the most impact, that’s where I want to be.”
