Today’s guest on Capitol Ideas is Everett state Rep. Mary Fosse, deputy majority floor leader in the state House and vice chair of the House Committee on Labor and Workplace Standards.

Rep. Mary Fosse was on her first picket line three months shy of her first birthday, and she’s been a lifelong ally of workers and the labor movement in Washington and beyond. She puts that passion to work as vice chair of the House panel that deals with labor issues, and helps keep the chamber running smoothly as deputy majority floor leader. There are more sides to her than these, though, and we’ll explore several on today’s Capitol Ideas.
