Serving on the Olympia City Council since 2015, and reelected in 2019, Mayor Pro Tem Bateman has a history of serving the Olympia community long before her election to the City Council. In 2009, she served as an intern with the City working on climate change issues and in 2013 began her tenure as a Planning Commissioner.
This year, Mayor Pro Tem Bateman was elected to serve as a Representative of the 22nd Legislative District, continuing her service to the Olympia community at the State level. We will celebrate how she has helped Olympia work towards realizing a more socially, economically and environmentally equitable community for all.
