Pramila Jayapal is an American activist and politician. A Democrat, she has represented District 37 in the Washington State Senate since January 2015.

After Senator Adam Kline announced his retirement in early 2014, Jayapal was one of several Democrats to enter the race to succeed him. She was endorsed by Seattle Mayor Ed Murray. She won more than 51% of the vote in Washington's open primary on August 5, 2014, out of a field of six candidates. She went on to defeat fellow Democrat Louis Watanabe in November.
==Advocacy work==
Jayapal founded Hate Free Zone after the September 11 attacks in 2001 as an advocacy group for Arab, Muslim, and South Asian Americans targeted in the wake of the attacks. The group went on to become a political force in the state of Washington, registering new American citizens to vote and lobbying lawmakers on immigration reform and related issues. It changed its name to OneAmerica in 2008.〔 Jayapal stepped down from leadership in the group in May 2012. A year later, she was recognized by the White House as a "Champion of Change" for her work on behalf of the immigrant community.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://pramilajayapal.com/about/ )〕
