Governor Brad Little issued a statement following the death of former Idaho Representative Linden Bateman, who represented District 33. Bateman served in the Idaho Legislature from 1977 to 1986 and again from 2010 to 2016.
“Linden Bateman was a close friend of mine and a true statesman. He served Idaho with distinction for fifteen years, guided by integrity, humility, and a genuine commitment to the people he represented. Linden was passionate about Idaho history and played a key role in establishing March 4 as Idaho Day. He listened thoughtfully, led with principle, and always sought to do what is right. Beyond his service, he was a trusted friend to many and a steady presence, respected by all who knew him. Idaho is better because of his work, and his legacy of character and public service will not be forgotten,” Governor Little said.
The Office of the Governor of Idaho oversees executive leadership throughout the state from its operations center in Boise, offering services such as public engagement, policy support, legislative session assistance, proclamations, scheduling, and agency help according to the official website: https://gov.idaho.gov/. The office also promotes community involvement by highlighting achievements and encouraging future generations to remain in Idaho. Governor Little’s administration continues these efforts as part of its mission to serve all residents statewide.
