    Description
    Senate Profile


    Join us at the Washington State Legislature, a hub of innovation and action in the heart of Olympia, comprised of the Senate and the House of Representatives.

    The Legislature meets annually on the second Monday in January through March in even-numbered years and January through April in odd-numbered years.

    Here, policymaking unfolds in a vibrant, dynamic setting where dedicated staff support our legislative members year-round. The Senate strives to cultivate an inclusive working environment that supports diversity and belonging through equitable policies and practices.

    About the Senate Democratic Caucus Staff

    The Washington State Senate Democratic Caucus (SDC) consists exclusively of Democratic members of the Washington State Senate. Our caucus staff is a team of forward-thinking administrative, policy, and communications staff dedicated to putting people first.

    Policy analysts provide analysis, advice, and bill development assistance in their respective policy areas to all Democratic Senators and their office staff.

    Communications specialists manage media requests and assist in any and all areas of communications to individual Democratic Senators and their offices.

    As a staff team, we are driven by a shared commitment to support Democratic Senators as they shape an equitable and inclusive future for all Washingtonians.

    If you're passionate about supporting elected officials as they seek to make real change and amplify voices that are often unheard, you'll fit right in.

    Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Access, and Belonging

    We bring to our work a commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, access and belonging. We believe in creating spaces where everyone can belong and thrive. We are committed to ensuring that all employees enjoy a respectful, safe, and supportive working environment.

    We recognize that only by fostering the inclusion of people from all backgrounds, cultures, and attributes, can our staff achieve their fullest potential and best advance the goals and mission of the Senate.
