Jenna King Lewis

Jenna King Lewis has dedicated her career to protecting the vulnerable and advancing justice. As General Counsel for Senator Tan Parker, she plays a central role in shaping legislation that strengthens Texas communities and most notably leading efforts in the fight against human trafficking.

“Jenna has been a phenomenal advocate in the fight against human trafficking,” one nominator wrote. “She’s a fantastic staffer who always goes above and beyond the call.” That commitment to both people and policy defines her work at the Capitol, where she combines legal precision with an unwavering moral compass.

Before joining Senator Parker’s office, Jenna served as Policy Counsel for Atlas Free, one of the largest anti-human trafficking organizations in the world, where she worked to coordinate global strategies and strengthen survivor protections. Earlier in her career, she was a prosecutor in Ventura County, California, bringing both courtroom experience and compassion to her pursuit of justice.

A graduate of the Pepperdine Caruso School of Law and the LBJ School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas at Austin, Jenna embodies the balance of intellect and empathy that defines the best of public service.

As one of this year’s Top Staffers of the Year, Jenna King Lewis represents the courage, expertise, and purpose that move Texas policy forward.  Changing lives in the process.
