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 joined the Washington State Legislature on December 16, 2013. She filled the vacancy left after Dave Upthegrove resigned from his House seat following his election to the King County Council. Gregerson was appointed to the by the King County Council. She was the second-place finisher in the advisory vote of the 33rd District Democratic Precinct Committee Officers.[3]
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).[4]
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.[5] Council member Pam Fernald was responsible for getting the North SeaTac Park cleaned up.[6][7]
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.[8] Gregerson did not accept any responsibility for the leadership failure.[9]
