Hey all, 

Please join us in welcoming our new Chair of the King County Young Democrats Maliq Phakdymanivong!
 

Maliq Phakdymanivong graduated from the University of Washington in 2021 with a degree in Political Science. He also studied Entrepreneurship and launched his own company at the beginning of his senior year. Along with his studies, Maliq cultivated his passion for videography and graphic design by volunteering for a local football training facility, eventually becoming the facility's Director of Media Production.

Maliq started his journey in politics in high school by participating in the Junior State of America, where he eventually was elected to represent the Inland Empire Region of the Pacific Northwest State as Mayor. After graduating from UW, Maliq decided to turn his passion for politics into a career and joined a local Seattle campaign as their Field Organizer and Digital Media Manager. Maliq now works as a legislative aide where he researches policy, manages communications, and is the point of contact for constituents. His goal by the end of his career is to know that he was able to open the door for underrepresented folks to the world of politics and local government.
