I advocate for transparent governance at all levels of government, open communications with community members, historic preservation, civil rights, environmental sustainability, health care for all, and the economic vitality of our community.
I am one of nine elected members of the Bellefonte Borough Council. I represent the 3rd (West Ward) along with two other individuals. I was first elected to the Council in 2015 and started serving in January 2016. I served as President of the Council from 2018-2021. As President, I made committee appointments, created council agendas, and presided over council meetings and work sessions. I also represented the Council on the Bellefonte Police Pension Committee, the local Cable Consortium, and the Spring Creek Watershed Commission. I served as the Spring Creek Watershed Commission Chair from January 2020 through December 31, 2022, and am a member of the Spring Creek Watershed Atlas Working Group.
I have been active as a community organizer in the non-profit world for about 35 years. I currently serve as the Vice-President of the Bellefonte Historic Preservation Foundation, as Chair of the Centre County Advisory Council to the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission, and as the Parliamentarian for the Women’s Caucus of the Pennsylvania Democratic Party. I serve as a member of the Board of Directors for Health Care for All Pennsylvania. I am one of four people representing Centre County at the Pennsylvania Democratic State Committee. I previously served in multiple capacities with the National Organization for Women at the local, state, and regional levels of the National Organization for Women. I served as President of Pennsylvania NOW, Inc. from 2006 to 2011 and as a regional board member of the National NOW Board of Directors from 2012 – 2016.
I live here in Bellefonte with my husband, Joseph Vasey, and my son, Kenneth Vasey.

I have been a resident of Bellefonte all my life. I’ve benefited from the many opportunities that come with living in a safe, clean, and caring environment. I’ve watched as many exciting new projects have been completed in our town. I’ve always believed public service to be such an honorable and valuable endeavor and have often thought about how I could contribute. Like many people, I suppose, there was always something standing in the way. Career, family, taking care of a home, hobbies and any number of other reasons contributed to me putting off action till another day. I reached a point in my life where I felt I needed to take action. I started by becoming more educated and informed about the day-to-day operations of local government. I decided to be directly involved and help make a real difference in the manner our beautiful town is managed. I want to be a voice for our most important resource, our citizens.
