| Info | Laurie, like so many Californians, wasn’t born here. She visited California multiple times as a child, and it was during those trips she knew she wanted to live here as soon as she could. Laurie was born in Wisconsin, where she and her three brothers and one sister were raised by her parents Richard and Lois Davies. Her parents instilled in her the value of hard work and the importance of family. After graduating high school, she worked for a year, and in 1981 after saving enough money to buy a Cutlass Supreme, she moved west to attend Cal State Long Beach.
Upon her arrival, she knew she made the right decision, and this is where she would call home. The values of hard work she learned growing up would serve her well during her college years. While attending school full-time, she worked nights and weekends as a waitress at the Queensway Bay Hilton to pay her way through college.
Because she worked nights and weekends, she was in a position to earn her degree and graduated with no debt. After graduating, she relocated to Orange County where she was the General Manager for two different restaurants, from there she handled the events at the Private Monarch Bay Beach Club in Dana Point. It was during her ten years there that she saw the need in the area for a professional wedding planner. In 2000 Laurie decided that the time was right for her to start her own planning business, and she opened Five Star Wedding & Events, which she successfully still operates today.
Over the course of nearly the last twenty years as an entrepreneur and small business owner, Laurie became active in the community. As a long-standing Chamber member, she recognizes the importance of promoting the business community and enacting policies at the state and local level that help encourage businesses to expand and thrive. In recognition of her involvement in the community, she was awarded the Melvin Jones Fellowship Award from the Lions Club.
Laurie was first elected in 2012 to the Laguna Niguel City Council. She was appointed Mayor in 2015 and re-elected in 2016. Safety issues have always been a top priority for Laurie. She was appointed to the Orange County Fire Authority Board in 2017. As Mayor, Laurie partnered with police services to establish programs including Girls Empowerment, Anti-Bully Prevention, and Teen Drivers Safety. She also worked in close collaboration with parents that lost their children to prescription drug abuse. To Laurie, education is everything when it comes to protecting our children and teens.
Laurie was elected to the California State Assembly in 2020. In Sacramento, Laurie fights to keep prices affordable, our neighborhoods safe, and our coastline clean. She serves on the military, accountability, transportation, and water, parks, & wildlife committees.
Laurie lives in Laguna Niguel with her husband, Neil.
