Career Highlights: “During my retail career, I helped to open the New England district for The Limited Stores. We were finishing up the main store in Boston in 1978 when I saw Les Wexner, President of The Limited standing on the balcony looking over the store. I walked over to him and he turned to me and asked what I thought of the store. I said I thought the store looked great. We had the flashy top styles displayed nicely and everything looked balanced, but I said to him, that as a salesperson who likes to sell the ‘whole’ outfit, I felt that we needed silk teddies and tap pants as accessories to the clothes. I said not the ‘sleazy’ kind like in Frederick’s of Hollywood, but silk soft undergarments or lingerie. He said, ‘You’re right, lingerie would be a nice complement.’ Soon after, Mr. Wexner bought Victoria’s Secret.”

Linda Wolfe Bateman was the last remnants of glory that the Philadelphia Republican party had representing them. She believed in justice and equality for those who wanted a decent wage for a good days work. She wanted support for single mothers and widowed veteran's wife's. She wanted money that was budgeted for public schooling to be directly influenced by the parents of the student and not the trickle down the grape vine approach that we have today. The Republicans rarely supported their own candidates. Linda Wolfe Bateman believed in democracy and representation. She wanted the change that this city needed, and this city needed the change she could of offered. The Democrat system that supports the Drop initiative where elected officials retire for a day and then collects hundreds of thousands of tax payer dollars then returns to collecting a salary is what she was against. The 20,000 votes she received against the incumbent may seem little, but that is remarkable for a Republican in Philadelphia. She knew how to run a campaign and she did it by walking door to door and voicing her cause. Sadly she succumbed to breast cancer in 2013. She lived her last years of life making a difference and putting up a shining example of her political party. There is not a true Philadelphia Republican who has never met Linda Wolfe Bateman.
