She is a member of the Washington House of Representatives, representing the 36th Legislative District. == Legislative Background == Gael Tarleton is a member of the Washington State House of Representatives (2012-present). First elected in 2012 and re-elected in November 2014, Tarleton serves Washington State's 36th Legislative District. In the 2015-2017 legislative session, Tarleton's colleagues elected her Deputy Majority Floor Leader and Vice Chair of the Technology and Economic Development Committee. She also is serving on the House Higher Education, Rules, and Transportation Committees. Four of the bills Tarleton has prime-sponsored have become law: HB 1647, the "Safe Keys Act" requiring landlords to protect renters' keys; HB 2580, a legislative task force analyzing the economic resilience of mtime and manufacturing sectors in Washington; HB 2351, authorizing out-of-state health care professionals to volunteer services in Washington; and HB 2708, establishing liquid biomass as a new type of renewable energy. Her work to protect houseboat owners in Seattle led to a Senate-sponsored bill that passed into law in 2014. Tarleton's HB 1725 spurred efforts to strengthen the state's college-savings fund for the middle class. Tarleton also authored HB 2238, which would have made Washington State the first in the nation to require employers to provide paid vacation in order to support a healthy workplace. Another of her bills, HB 2579, proposed a prohibition on the practice of "suction dredging" by hobby miners in public waters where salmon, steelhead and bull trout spawn. Tarleton now co-chairs the legislative task force on the economic resilience of maritime, fishing, and other manufacturing sectors that constitute about 40 percent of Washington's economy.
