Ethan Byers

Ethan Byers is CG Artist in Columbia, where he champions a community first approach to government. Campaigning on grassroots support from his friends and neighbors, he believes that government should work for everyone, not just the wealthy, and that transparency and accountability are vital to having a government that people can trust. And he is committed to building up his community to support those who need it the most.

Ethan is a Pennsylvania native, born and raised in Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood. His mother, a public school teacher, and his father, a nurse, instilled in him a strong sense of civil and community service from a young age. His public library sparked his love for art, and now he volunteers with a Philadelphia non-profit to support the arts, where he organizes community events, sponsorships, and mentors developing artists.

Ethan is also a lifelong member of the Boy Scouts of America, where he is an Eagle Scout, Vigil Honor member, and Assistant Scoutmaster. Scouts is where he developed his skills as a leader and public servant, putting the needs of others above his own and working to support those in the community that needed it the most. He has since spent years working as both a camp counselor and cub scout mentor, working to support the next generation.

Ethan knows these programs and public institutions are vital for people of all ages to find the support and encouragement they need, and is dedicated to bringing these values to his local government.
