marileavitt.com is the campaign and public-affairs website for Elect Mari Leavitt — covering Washington State’s 28th Legislative District (Pierce County), including University Place, Lakewood, Steilacoom, DuPont, and neighboring communities. The Site publishes campaign news, legislative updates, endorsements, and ways for neighbors to volunteer, endorse, and stay informed about work that affects working families, veterans and military households, students, seniors, and small businesses across the district.
Our mission and purpose
This website exists to keep constituents and supporters connected to the Elect Mari Leavitt campaign and to the public record of priorities Mari has advanced in Olympia. Our purpose is straightforward: explain what is happening on issues that matter in the 28th LD, share press and legislative milestones in plain language, and make it easy to get involved — whether that means reading recent news, reviewing endorsements, volunteering, or contacting the campaign committee, Friends of Mari Leavitt (D).
We are a political campaign communications site, not the official website of the Washington State Legislature. For bill text, roll calls, and official legislative directories, we encourage readers to use primary sources such as leg.wa.gov and the member profile for Representative Mari Leavitt. Campaign pages here may include paid-for-by political advertising paid for by Friends of Mari Leavitt (D), PO Box 65195, Tacoma, WA 98466.
What topics we cover
Content on marileavitt.com focuses on the real policy and community agenda of the 28th District campaign, including:
- Veterans, National Guard, and military families — pay equity during state activations, workforce pathways, disability-related supports, and recognition for service.
- Education and workforce — college access and affordability, career and technical education, prison education and second-chance pathways, and workforce training bills.
- Housing and community infrastructure — affordable workforce housing, capital and transportation projects, and quality-of-life investments in cities like Lakewood and University Place.
- Public safety and public health — protections for election workers, anti-hazing measures such as Sam’s Law, opioid and fentanyl education (including the Lucas Petty Act), and workplace safety for healthcare staff.
- Extreme weather and emergency preparedness — legislation helping local governments respond when communities face dangerous heat or cold.
- Consumer and family protections — online privacy for minors, robocall enforcement, and related constituent concerns.
We also publish endorsement lists, volunteer invitations, and biographical material so voters can learn who Mari is — educator, PTSA parent, small-business owner, former human-services administrator, and legislator — and how her background shapes the campaign’s priorities.
Editorial approach
Most news items are drawn from campaign releases, House Democratic Caucus posts, and reputable local or statewide coverage. We aim to present dates, bill themes, and district impact clearly, with links out to source articles when available. Headlines and excerpts are kept close to the original reporting so readers can verify context. Photo galleries and biography pages preserve campaign storytelling from the restored site archive.
We do not pretend archived posts are always current law. Legislation moves; governors sign or veto; budgets change. Older articles remain online for historical continuity of the campaign record. When you need the latest status of a bill, check the Legislature’s bill information system. When you need official casework help from a legislative office, use government channels — this Site is for campaign communication and public information.
