Speaker Bios:

I am honored to serve the residents of the 48th Legislative District and represent our shared values in Olympia. My legislative priorities are focused on four core values: restructuring our regressive tax code, supporting working families and small businesses, providing more affordable housing options, and resources to prevent gun violence. I currently serve as Chair of the Consumer Protection and Business Committee. I am also a member of the Civil Rights & Judiciary Committee and Finance Committee.

King County Councilmember Claudia Balducci is a mom, transportation and affordable housing leader, and a former public safety official. Representing Council District 6 in East King County, Claudia Balducci is committed to making King County government works better. She always looks forward to tackling the most pressing issues our region is facing and building a brighter future for all King County residents. She works hard to make King County a place where all residents have a safe and decent place to live, educational and career opportunities, physical and mental health care, and a healthy and sustainable environment.

Claudia first became active in civic life when she joined her neighbors to advocate for the revitalization of her local shopping center in the Lake Hills community of Bellevue. She went on to serve on the Bellevue City Council, including one term as Mayor. Elected in 2015, and now in her third term on the King County Council, Claudia works across the region as chair of the Sound Transit Board’s System Expansion Committee, immediate past president of the Puget Sound Regional Council, chair of the King County Affordable Housing Committee, chair of the King County Council Committee of the Whole, and chair of the Regional Water Quality Committee.
