About Jessica
Sen. Jessica Bateman lives by the commitment that no one should be left out or left behind.

As an organizer and coalition leader, Jessica has worked to create affordable housing, assist struggling families, and empower at-risk youth. Jessica also worked to pass a Sanctuary City Resolution in Olympia and is a passionate advocate for accessible health care.
