About Lynda

Lynda Lloyd is a proud daughter of Newark, a mother, homeowner, educator, entrepreneur, and organizer. She has championed the issues of Newark residents at every level of government — from serving as an aide to then-Councilman Ras J. Baraka, to working with the late Congressman Donald M. Payne Sr., and as a South Ward Democratic District Leader.

Through every role, her mission has remained the same: to uplift her city, advocate for families, and build a Newark where everyone thrives. Lynda is running For the Love of Newark — for the elders who shaped her, the youth who motivate her, and every neighbor who calls this city home.
