Committed to reforming Albany and making New York State a better place to live, work and raise a family, she will work to instill real ethics reform in state government, revitalize the economy and turn around the business climate, fight for middle-class families, revamp the education system and empower parents to advocate for their children and protect upstate values.

Prior to being elected to the Assembly, Mary Beth served in a variety of leadership positions in local and county government, including two terms as a Councilwoman in the Town of Ballston, Saratoga County IDA, Saratoga County Ethics Advisory Council and Saratoga County Autism Council. These community-based positions have helped Mary Beth to develop a keen sense of what matters most to upstate residents, families and businesses. Throughout her tenure as Councilwoman, Mary Beth helped deliver critically important services to residents while promoting fiscal restraint and keeping the Town of Ballston free of municipal taxation.
