ROOTS

Born to struggling parents who were just teenagers, Alexis’ grandparents stepped in to help raise her. Growing up, she witnessed firsthand her own family deal with the cycles of incarceration, substance use, and homelessness. But she is thankful to have had support in her community and access to resources that gave her a pathway to a better future.

BACKGROUND

With financial aid and scholarships, Alexis was able to attend Syracuse University, where she worked in restaurants and got her start in politics fighting and successfully banning hydrofracking in New York State and improving consumer protections. 


As a young organizer, she has canvassed and fundraised for Planned Parenthood, educated on the impact of corporate/dark money in politics, and united grassroots organizations to protest Trump’s harmful policies. She is proud to have been awarded a “Woman Leader of the Year,” and a leader for LGBTQ+ justice.

PUBLIC SERVICE

After graduating with degrees in political science and sociology, Alexis moved to Seattle to attend the Evans School at the University of Washington and start her career in public policy. Alexis fights for progressive change and housing equity because she knows what it is to struggle. She is a living example that when we invest in young people to break cycles of trauma, we can change generations to come. 


She has used her policy expertise to support human services and public health  for the 38 member cities of the Sound Cities Association, to direct emergency and severe weather response plans for people living unsheltered in cities across King County, and to lead fiscal policy analysis and budgeting for higher education currently at the University of Washington.

Alexis understands our struggles because she’s lived them.

READY TO LEAD

Having witnessed firsthand the difficult circumstances that so many people in our communities are facing today, Alexis is ready to bring that experience to the City Council and be a real voice for the people of Seattle. She is a renter, a transit rider, a former restaurant worker, and a multi-racial woman.


She lives in the Central District and volunteers in her free time with Plant-Based Food Shares, ensuring families have access to fresh produce. She will bring important representation and an abundance of expertise to Seattle City Council to make sure Seattle is a place we can all be proud to call home.
