Yesterday in a press conference Governor Inslee announced the appointment of Cami Feek as the new Employment Security Department (ESD) Commissioner effective immediately.
Feek has been with ESD since 2017 when she was hired to design and launch the Paid Family and Medical Leave program. She began her state government career 25 years ago in a non-permanent role in a mailroom.
Prior to coming to ESD, Cami worked at the Department of Financial Institutions, General Administration (now Department of Enterprise Services), Washington State Patrol and the Attorney General’s Office under both Republican and Democratic attorneys general.
