State Rep. Sara Wojcicki-Jimenez, a Republican from Leland Grove, announced she would not be seeking re-election last year.

By the end of 2018, she will have served three years in the legislature. As her short tenure in state government comes to a close, she reflected on her proudest moments and discussed the future of women in politics in the era of the #MeToo movement.
