Sahar Fathi

Sahar Fathi, former legislative aide to City Councilmember Mike O’Brien, declared her intention to run for state representative of the 36th District. Fathi, who sits on the boards of the Northwest Immigrant Rights Project and ACLU Washington, vows to stand for progressive sustainability in Olympia. Fathi earned a law degree and a master’s degree from the University of Washington. She started the Middle Eastern Legal Association, the first legal clinic for people of Middle Eastern descent in the country. If elected, the 28-year-old will be the first Iranian American woman in the country to serve in a state legislature. (end)
