Bateman announces bid for Dauphin County controller PennLive.com 2/17/2021 Matt Miller, pennlive.com
Republican Mary Bateman, the business manager for Upper Dauphin School District, has announced her candidacy for Dauphin County controller, the county’s chief financial watchdog.
The seat the Lykens woman seeks was vacated when former Controller Tim DeFoor won election as the state auditor general. Bateman is endorsed by the county GOP.
“I believe that my professional experience in financial management, accounting and auditing provides me with the necessary tools to safe-guard Dauphin County tax dollars,” Bateman said. “I look forward to building upon the transparency, modernization and reforms that (DeFoor)implemented.”
