Beth Doglio is a Washington State Representative in the 22nd Legislative District, which includes Olympia. She’s the first openly bisexual member of the Washington State Legislature.
The daughter of public school educators and the granddaughter of coal miners, Doglio grew up in Kankakee, a small town in Illinois. “There I learned the importance of service and good government from a young age, joining my mother, a leader with the local League of Women Voters chapter, in encouraging voters to create a public health department,” Doglio says.
Doglio, during her time in the state senate and legislature, has become one of the state’s foremost leaders on the environment, housing, gun safety, and issues facing working families. Doglio helped lead the passage of legislation to empower workers through higher wages and improved protections, to make Washington a leader in the fight against climate change, and to provide more resources to address homelessness.
