Meet Ellen

Hi. I'm Ellen. I am running to be re-elected as the Bedford Town Supervisor because I love our town, and I love my job serving all of Bedford's residents. 

​

I live in Katonah with my husband Herbie. Our kids (now all 3 college graduates) attended KLSD schools, participated in Rec sports, swim team, library programs, theatre, and volunteered and worked locally. We loved raising our kids here, and we continue to embrace the plentiful opportunities in town to enjoy nature, the arts, history, recreation, and community events and activities. Whether walking down the street, hiking local trails, or shopping or eating in town, I adore the friendly, small town vibe of each of our hamlets.

 

Before serving on the Town Board (2020-2021) and then as Supervisor (2022-present), I worked at Bedford 2030 to advance the town-wide coalition goals to drive environmental protection and climate forward solutions throughout our town and our region. I also served on the Katonah Village Improvement Society Board and volunteered in the schools and at my church. Finding solutions by collaborating with residents, not-for-profits, businesses, and the town to improve Bedford was such meaningful and important work, and there was more to be done - so I ran for office!

 

Prior to working and volunteering in town, I attended Notre Dame undergrad and Emory Law School. I worked as an attorney, an assistant fund manager, a development officer, an organizer, and volunteered in a variety of capacities. These experiences gave me skills in law, communication, collaboration, listening, management, fiscal responsibility, and a strong work ethic that help immensely every day in my job now as Bedford Town Supervisor.

​

Supporting vibrant small town life in our hamlets and responsibly managing government to make people's lives better is a job I truly love. I am proud of what we have accomplished together, so far, and I am passionate about continuing to work for you and for a bright future for Bedford!
