Virginia C. "Jenny" Graham (née Estes,[2] born 1965) is an American businesswoman and politician serving in the Washington State House of Representatives for Washington's 6th legislative district, having first won the seat in the 2018 elections.[3] She was re-elected in 2020.[4]

Graham's "advocacy for victims of human trafficking and abuse" is informed by personal tragedy,[5] the murder of her sister by the Green River Killer.[6] She also supports the death penalty due to this event.[7]

After an Inlander reporter wrote about her linking to conspiracy websites on Facebook in 2020,[8] [9] Graham called him a "cocksucker," a "lying piece of shit," "disgusting," "hateful" "sleazy" and accused him of an "attack on human trafficking victims."[10] [11]
