Tony Walton, M.S.Human ServicES Professional
I'm a public servant with nearly two decades of experience across the judicial and executive branches, including my current role as Section Manager of Adult Substance Use and Treatment at Washington State Health Care Authority, where I lead a 24-person team that expands low-barrier human service programs and behavioral health access across the state. I work to improve health equity alongside tribal, local government, regional agencies, and community partners.
Outside of work, I enjoy baseball, hiking, and collecting vinyl records in University Place, where I reside with my partner and family.
