Speaker: Senator Jesse Salomon

Senator Salomon is known to many here in the city of Shoreline, having started his political career as a Shoreline City councilmember. What you may not know is that he is formerly an attorney with the King County Department of Public Defense and a former child welfare prosecutor. His website states that his priorities are “to address critical needs in education, promote the creation of livable wage jobs, protect the environment, and practice fiscal accountability.” In this last legislative session, Jesse was the Vice Chair of the Senate Agriculture, Water, Natural Resources & Parks Committee and also Vice Chair of the Senate Local Government Committee. He also served on the Senate Law & Justice Committee and the Senate Early Learning & K-12 Education Committee.

The senator will bring us up to date with what’s happening with the State legislature, and hopefully will have some time to talk about plans and legislation coming up.
