Washington House of Representatives District 47

Debra Entenman believes in helping people reach their goals by advocating for programs that lift families out of hopelessness and enable them to succeed. She benefited from that type of advocacy as an inaugural member of the Seattle/King County Head Start program, where she fell in love with education. Entenman went back to school after her own children were starting college. She studied political science at Highline Community College and Seattle University, and went on to serve as district director for Congressman Adam Smith.
