Capitol Weekly’s Top 100: Alicia Isaacs-Lee

No. 62 Alicia Isaacs-Lee

Alicia Isaacs-Lee is part of one of the Capitol community’s most dynamic duos. Her wife Mandy Isaacs-Lee (No. 80) is a rising force in the third house while Alicia pulls the levers of power within state government as one of the Assembly’s most influential aides. Previously Deputy Chief of Staff to Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas, Alicia now is a Chief Consultant and confidant to Assembly Budget Chair Jesse Gabriel, which makes her a key player in arguably the single most important piece of policy approved by the Legislature each and every year. Alicia is known to be equally adept with the carrot or the stick and is feared as much as she is loved. Cross her at your own peril.
