Elizabeth "Lizzie" Bartlet Westin is a fictional character played by Annabeth Gish on the television serial drama The West Wing. Elizabeth (called Lizzie and "Lizzie B." among family and friends) is the oldest of President Josiah Bartlet and Abbey Bartlet's three daughters.

She's a married mom of two -- daughter Annie and son Gus. Her husband is Doug Westin. It's discovered in season seven of The West Wing that Doug had cheated on Elizabeth with their nanny, but instead of leaving him, Liz continues to support his bid for congress.

Although there's every indication that Jed and Abbey were caring and loving parents, it was alluded to in season five that Liz had issues with them stemming from their busy careers. Her father is a career politician and her mother is a surgeon and Liz implied that many sacrifices were made when she and her sisters were growing up. She turned down an offer to run for congress herself because she didn't want her children to have the childhood she had.
