California

Betsy Smegal-Andersen is a dedicated public servant and attorney who has been actively involved in local government and community affairs in Piedmont, California. Betsy was appointed to the Piedmont City Council in October 2017 to fill a vacant seat. She was elected to her first term in November 2018 and re-elected for a second term in 2022.
