Mia Su-Ling Gregerson-Dahle (born December 19, 1972) is a United States politician of the Democratic Party. She is a member of the Washington House of Representatives, representing the 33rd Legislative District.

Political career

In 2007, she was first elected, without opposition, to the SeaTac City Council.[1] In 2011, Gregerson held onto her seat on the council by a 31 vote margin against Republican Erin Sitterley.[2]

Gregerson was appointed to the state legislature on December 16, 2013 by the King County Council, despite being the second choice of the 33rd Legislative District Democratic Precinct Committee Officers.[3] [4] [5] Gregerson filled the vacancy left after Dave Upthegrove resigned from his seat in the legislature on December 16, 2013 following his election to the King County Council.

In a 2015 re-match, Gregerson lost her re-election campaign for SeaTac City Council Position 7 with 40.90% of the votes (1512 votes). Her opponent Erin Sitterley won with 58.70% (2170 votes). [6]

Controversies

In her 2015 re-election campaign for SeaTac City Council, Gregerson claimed credit for a city park cleanup project which she had voted against.[7] Council member Pam Fernald was responsible for getting the North SeaTac Park cleaned up.[8][9]

In July 2016 a local family was awarded $18 million after proving city officials sabotaged their development plans during Gregerson's term on the city council.[10] Gregerson did not accept any responsibility for the leadership failure.[11]
