Beth Doglio, currently serving her third term representing Washington State’s 22nd Legislative District and in her inaugural term as Chair of the House Environment & Energy Committee, holds a degree in Political Science and Telecommunications from Indiana University. As the first openly bisexual member of the state legislature and a member of the LGBTQ caucus, Doglio has a diverse professional background in environmental advocacy, including 16 years at Climate Solutions and leadership roles at Washington Conservation Voters, Pro-Choice Washington, and Audubon Washington. Her commitment to women’s issues and LGBTQ+ rights has been evident throughout her career, both in her general advocacy work and specifically as an elected official.
