Elizabeth Bennett-Parker

Born in Alexandria to two Naval officers, Elizabeth is dedicated to serving her community. As the fifth member of the House of Delegates to give birth while in office (in its then 405-year history), she is deeply committed to supporting children and families, championing causes like accessible childcare, school meals for all, and affordable housing.

She serves in leadership on the House Finance and Counties, Cities & Towns Committees and is also a member of the General Laws Committee. In her first term, she passed the most bills of any Democratic freshman and has consistently ranked at the top of legislators for her percentage of bills passed.

Elizabeth served as a Fulbright Fellow, graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Cornell University, and earned a Master’s from the University of London.

She and her husband, Stephen, live in Alexandria with their daughter, and their rescue cat, Julep and dog, Nori, thanks to the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria.
