Bateman represents next generation of leaders

We all want Olympia to be a vibrant, energized, and environmentally friendly city. We also need to support a new generation of young leaders to speak out and advocate for the people of Olympia. Jessica Bateman is a progressive young leader who will help lead the way to a better Olympia.

While many people her age do not see the need to get involved in government or involved in the community, Jessica rolled up her sleeves and jumped in. She serves on the Olympia Planning Commission and on the board of directors of GRuB – working with disadvantaged youth and adults to grow and supply Olympia-raised garden products for the community. A graduate of The Evergreen State College and homeowner, Jessica is committed to a better Olympia. Her work in the state House of Representatives enables her to put her skills to work for us and for our state.

Please join me in voting for Jessica Bateman for Olympia City Council.
