Doglio was the founding executive director of Washington Conservation Voters, serving from 1991 to 1995. In 1996, she worked as a field organizer for NARAL. She also worked as an organizer for Peace Action.[4] Doglio is a progressive, and has advocated for a Medicare For All system, immigration reform, Green New Deal legislation, and the expansion of public housing in the Puget Sound region.[5][6][7]

2020 congressional election

In March 2020, Doglio announced that she would run for Washington's 10th congressional district in the 2020 elections after incumbent Congressman Denny Heck opted to run for Lieutenant Governor of Washington instead of seeking re-election.[8] Doglio faced former state representative Kristine Reeves and former mayor of Tacoma Marilyn Strickland among others in a nonpartisan blanket primary.[9] Doglio finished in second place and will face Strickland in the general election.[10]
