Info | In November, 2004, Betsy was elected State Representative for the 38th District. Her particular interests are in the areas of ethics and campaign finance reform, public health and healthcare access, transportation, and state/municipal taxation.
Betsy was first elected to public office in Waterford in 1990 as Registrar of Voters and served three and a half years before becoming Town Treasurer for the next five years. In 1998 she became Waterford’s Tax Collector, a position to which she was been elected twice. During this time she brought new technology and efficient procedures to the office, provided greater services to the public using fewer resources and staff, minimized departmental expense, increased Town tax relief to elderly and disabled homeowners, worked for and implemented a tax benefit for volunteer firefighters and EMT’s, and maintained the collection rate at one of the highest in the state. She is a CT Certified Municipal Collector.
Betsy has volunteered for numerous Town and community agencies and organizations including Waterford emergency management, PTA’s and school board action planning, school sports, YMCA of Southeastern CT, low-income housing advocacy, and arts in education. She served as president of the New London County Tax Collectors Association and is treasurer of Young Audiences of CT, Inc., a finance committee member for the Eugene O’Neill Theater Center, and a member of Waterford Rotary and the Waterford Democratic Town Committee. In her spare time she enjoys hiking, gardening, music and the performing arts, and beekeeping.
Betsy lives in the Quaker Hill section of Waterford with her husband Grant and their daughters, Carrie, a college junior, and Bess, a senior at Waterford High School. She can be reached at home at (860) 444-1700.
