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 2020, the Washington State Wire mentioned Rep. Gregerson (D-Seatac) in their roundup of the legislative session to that point saying, "Rep. Mia Gregerson is already having a good session. She won early praise for moving her bill off the House floor that would have created a first-in-the-nation Office of Equity. Her committee has a busy nine meetings set before the cutoff, and she’s prime sponsor on eleven bills this year, including some of the most talked about legislation this year."[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] The city council did not accept any responsibility for the leadership failure.[11]
