Since taking her oath of office over three years ago, she’s been an active voice for Washington families, schools, youth, and community investment.
As a vice chair of the House Capital Budget Committee, Lisa helps develop and direct investments in Washington construction and infrastructure projects, bringing opportunity and jobs to communities across the state.

Through this work, she’s helped pass many new policies in mental health, substance use, suicide prevention, workforce development, and perinatal-to-young-adult behavioral healthcare.
Before she was elected in 2018, Lisa served as a school board director in the Issaquah School District, worked as a Boeing engineer and project manager, and consulted in software development.
