Enterprise Washington is proud to announce and welcome Paul Graves as the new President for the organization. Paul will drive the mission of Enterprise Washington: to elect business friendly officials, regardless of political party, who want to make Washington the best state to start and run a business.
Paul served as State Representative for the 5
th
legislative district, representing east King County, from 2017-2019. In the Legislature, Paul worked in a bipartisan, thoughtful manner for schools; traffic relief; low, stable taxes; and an open and transparent government. Based on his voting record, Paul was named the most independent legislator in Olympia. Outside of politics, Paul believes in giving back to his community. He has devoted much of his legal career to representing foster kids in trial courts, and was named the Pro Bono Attorney of the Year by King County’s leading foster youth advocacy organization. He also serves on the board of HopeLink, a community action network helping people out of poverty in east and north King County. Paul is currently the In House Legal Counsel for a family-owned trucking company, and will maintain that role in addition to his new responsibilities with Enterprise Washington.
"We are very excited to have Paul join our team. He brings energy, enthusiasm, and experience that will be key to our success in 2020 and beyond."
