Capitol Weekly’s Top 100: Mandy Isaacs Lee

66: Mandy Lee

To call Mandy Isaacs-Lee a rising star in Sacramento really doesn’t seem appropriate anymore because she has already arrived in full force as a power player in California politics. She’s the founder and principal of Omni Government Relations, a serious firm representing serious clients like Tesla, CVS and Kaiser and a suite of heavyweight insurers, but which still has enough snark to quote Yoda on its home page (“Do or do not. There is no try.”). Isaacs-Lee is also a prominent and well-respected LGBTQ activist serving on the boards of Equality California and the California LGBT Leadership Fund. She earned a bachelor’s degree in political science from CSU, Hayward. She and her wife Alicia Isaacs-Lee, deputy chief of staff to Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas, 
and No. 69 on this list, were named this year to Capitol Weekly’s first-ever Top 10 list of Capitol power couples.
