Prior to being elected to the City Council in 2022, Lisa served for 20 years as a Natomas School Board member, including 12 years as an elected delegate and leader on the CA School Board Association.

In 1997, Councilmember Kaplan moved to Sacramento to attend McGeorge School of Law.

As a Natomas School Board Trustee, Lisa was instrumental in leading the passage of 4 school bonds, contributing to the construction or modernization of every school in Natomas, including each of its charter schools. As Board President in 2020, Lisa proudly led Natomas USD through the pandemic focusing on safety, equity and access. Her leadership helped provide much- needed access to childcare, healthcare and day-to-day meals for NUSD students and families.

As a Councilwoman, Lisa is Chair of the Personal and Public Employee committee. She’s led the city in establishing new processes and procedures for Boards and Commissions to increase their voice, appointment of Vacant Council positions, hiring of Charter appointees and accountability. Lisa currently serves on more than ten boards and committees for the city focusing on transit, water, flood and sanitation.

CM Kaplan wears many hats as a wife, mother, Councilmember, and attorney, to name a few, and making time for her family and the needs of her community take priority. She has a deep passion to serve, to collaborate, and to help improve the lives of others through her dedication, hard work, and a listening ear. Her experiences and challenges throughout her life have helped guide the tenacious woman she is today. Always ready to fight for what’s right and for those without a voice.
