As an entrepreneur, Enala has spent her career helping small businesses grow, creating employment opportunities, and connecting people with the resources they need to succeed.

Enala’s priorities
Invest in Better Education
Every Delaware child deserves a quality education and the skills to succeed in college, a career, or entrepreneurship. Enala will work to strengthen our schools, support teachers and educators, and ensure students are prepared for the realities of today's workforce. Strong schools build stronger families, communities, and economies.
Support Small Businesses & Create Jobs
Employment is the surest path to economic independence. As a business owner, Enala knows what it takes to start, grow, and sustain a business. She will fight to make Delaware a place where entrepreneurs can build companies, small businesses can thrive, and residents can find meaningful work — so economic growth benefits every community.
Safer and Stronger Communities
Delaware families deserve to feel safe in their homes, neighborhoods, and schools. Enala supports bringing residents, businesses, schools, community organizations, and public safety professionals together to strengthen our communities — because true public safety means expanding access to opportunity, education, employment, and positive activities, not just responding to crime.
A community-focused approach
Enala believes effective leadership starts with listening. Her experience as an entrepreneur, mother, and community activist has taught her that Delaware accomplishes more when residents, businesses, nonprofits, educators, and government leaders work together. Her goal is to bring the voices of District 16 into the conversation and deliver practical solutions that strengthen families and communities.
“This campaign is about listening to the people who make District 16 their home. I believe productive conversations begin with understanding the experiences and priorities of the community.”
Meet the candidate
Enala understands firsthand the challenges facing working families, small-business owners, and nonprofits — and she knows that practical solutions begin by listening to the people closest to the problem.
Her campaign for State Representative is rooted in her dedication to serving the people of District 16 and helping create meaningful opportunities for families, workers, and local businesses.
