Elected to the Washington State Senate in 2018, Sen. Jesse Salomon has demonstrated leadership, energy and compassion as he represents Washington’s 32nd Legislative District, which includes Shoreline, Woodway, Edmonds, Lynnwood, Mountlake Terrace and Northwest Seattle.

Through his advocacy and legislative work, Jesse has become known as a champion for the environment, youth and children, and justice system reform. He has sponsored bills on police accountability, boosting the salmon and orca populations, fighting the automation of family wage jobs, research on the use of psilocybin for mental health treatment, and making sure people don’t lose their driver’s license because of inability to pay fines.

Jesse is the Vice Chair of the Agriculture, Water, Natural Resources & Parks Committee and the Local Government, Land Use and Tribal Affairs Committee, along with serving on the Law & Justice and Rules committees.

Prior to being elected to the Senate, Jesse served for seven years on the Shoreline City Council, including one year as deputy mayor.

In addition to his work as a senator, Jesse works part-time as a public defender. His experience representing thousands of clients, conducting the defense in numerous jury trials, working in local jails and at the start of his legal career serving as a prosecutor, has given him a unique background that informs his work in the Legislature on crime and law.

Jesse graduated from the University of Washington School of Law and Western Washington University (Dean’s List). An avid hiker, fisher, snowboarder and boater, Jesse loves to spend spare time in the great outdoors of the Pacific Northwest.

Jesse lives with his family in his favorite city: Shoreline!
