Mark Anthony Miloscia (born September 13, 1958) is an American politician and current Washington State Senator. Originally a member of the Democratic Party for more than twenty years, in 2014 he switched to the Republican Party and ran for election to represent the 30th Legislative District in the State Senate - an election he ultimately won by more than 11 points. In 2012, Miloscia ran as a Democrat for Washington State Auditor; a race which he lost in the primary election while earning less than 10% of the vote. Miloscia ran again for State Auditor in 2016-this time as a Republican-but lost the General Election to Democrat Pat McCarthy by 4.62%. He had represented the 30th Legislative District for seven terms from 1999 to 2013 in the Washington House of Representatives as a Democrat.

Miloscia was born in Biloxi, Mississippi and lived there until the age of six when his family moved to New York City. He lived with his family in New York City until graduating from high school. He is a retired officer of the United States Air Force. He was a B-52 pilot and a contract manager for the Air Force for 10 years. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Engineering from the United States Air Force Academy, a Master of Arts (MA) degree from Chapman University in clinical psychology, and a Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree from the University of North Dakota. He has also completed the Leadership Program at the Taubman Center for State and Local Government at John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University.
