Lori Denise Wilson (born July 17, 1976)[1] is an American politician elected to the California State Assembly.[2] She is a Democrat elected to represent the 11th district, encompassing Solano County and parts of Contra Costa County, including the city of Oakley, and Sacramento County.[3] Prior to being elected to the state assembly, she was mayor of Suisun City.[4]

In 2023 Wilson authored AB957[5][6] which would require a parent’s affirmation of the child’s gender identity or gender expression in determining the best interest of a child during custody or visitation proceedings. This bill was ultimately vetoed by Governor Newsom.
