Beth Doglio is a State Representative, community organizer, climate leader, mother of two, and candidate for the House of Representatives in Washington\\u2019s 10th District.

Throughout her career, Beth has worked for a thriving, sustainable, just and compassionate future for all. In Congress, she will be a champion for working families, seniors, veterans, and our environment \\u2013 bringing years of advocacy and leadership to a political system in need of new and energetic collaborative approach.

Serving in the Legislature since 2017, Beth is one of Washington\\u2019s foremost leaders on the environment, housing, gun safety, and issues facing working families. She has helped lead the passage of groundbreaking 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.

As Vice Chair of the Capital Budget committee, she has secured millions in funding for infrastructure projects throughout the 10th Congressional District. She is a member of the LGBTQ Caucus, and a co-founder of Win With Women, a political organization that encourages women to run for office and elect them at all levels of government. In the legislature and in the community, she has fought for representation and equal opportunity for women, including young women, women of color, and LGBTQ women.

The daughter of public school educators and the granddaughter of coal miners, Beth grew up in Kankakee, a small town in Illinois. There she learned the importance of service and good government from a young age, joining her mother, a leader with the local League of Women Voters chapter, in encouraging voters to create a public health department.

After graduating from Indiana University, Beth moved to Washington state in 1987, serving as a community organizer.

Beth\\u2019s environmental leadership in our state began nearly three decades ago as the founding Executive Director of Washington Conservation Voters (WCV). Under Beth\\u2019s leadership, WCV became one of the state\\u2019s most prominent environmental organizations: developing 15 chapters, creating a robust voter education program, and playing a key role in shaping policy to protect Washington\\u2019s natural resources and environment.

Following her time at WCV, Beth worked in the public, private, and non-profit sectors, including at the National Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League (NARAL) and Audubon Washington, where she continued to fight for progressive, environmental, and community priorities. She also volunteered at the Noel House Homeless shelter and served on the Board of Director of Solid Ground, giving her keen insight into the homelessness and affordability challenges facing our region today.

Beth moved to Olympia in 1999, and after the birth of her second child in 2004, focused her energy on being a full-time mom \\u2013 but she didn\\u2019t stop organizing or giving back to the community. Beth co-chaired Olympia\\u2019s Parks and Sidewalks ballot measure, worked with Washington Toxics Coalition to reduce the use of pesticides in local parks and school playgrounds, and volunteered at Roosevelt Elementary School, later serving as Roosevelt PTA President.

In addition to her role in the state legislature, Beth has worked at Climate Solutions since 2007 working to pass federal, state and local climate policy and serving as the director of the Power Past Coal campaign since its inception \\u2013 making her an expert and a leader in efforts to defeat climate change and develop a clean energy economy.
