Public service and district
Lisonbee began House service in January 2017 and represents District 14 in Davis County. Her earlier Syracuse City Council role gave her experience in municipal government before she began representing the district at the Capitol. Her official biography identifies family studies as her academic field and describes a legislative career spanning healthcare, taxation, education and economic development as well as criminal-justice and victim-protection issues.

Documented legislative work
Her 2026 sponsor record includes HB372, Child Welfare Changes, and HB370, Sex Offender Oversight Amendments, both recorded as signed by the governor. A separate medical-records measure reached the Senate before ending with a return-to-Rules action, while an education-testing proposal ended as filed in the House. The record provides specific examples of work on child protection and justice-system oversight while preserving the distinction between signed measures and unfinished proposals. [2]

Committee and budget responsibilities

They provide concrete institutional settings for the child-welfare and offender-oversight subjects in her sponsorship record, while her municipal service and family-studies background offer additional context for her public career.
