Allicia Thompson
Director
Allicia helps clients move policy at the Hawaiʻi State Legislature and with the agencies that carry it out. Her approach starts with relationships. She gets to know the lawmakers, staff, and community partners on an issue and builds a strategy around how decisions actually get made.
She has led multi-year legislative campaigns from first draft to signed law, often rethinking a bill along the way to find a version that can pass. She has also built and worked in coalitions to stop proposals that would have hurt businesses and consumers, helped secure state funding for client priorities, and helped pass legislation that benefited small businesses.
Her work covers education, energy, housing, healthcare, broadband, and consumer issues, plus community outreach and event support for local nonprofits.
Allicia earned her bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education, with an emphasis in Performing Arts, from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, and a master’s degree in Educational Technology and Leadership from Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas.
