Biographical NoteReturn to Top
Chairman of CHECC beginning in mid 1972. Seattle City Council member (1974-1981), and King County Executive (1981-1985).

He later served as senior vice president of the Washington State Hospital Association (WSHA). Revelle led the Washington Coalition for Insurance Parity with WSHA, successfully advocating for Washington State's mental health parity law in 2005. In 2007, the legislature expanded the law.
