After 20 years in Bedford politics, Lee Roberts will be stepping down as town supervisor when November elections come around.

Roberts was elected as a councilwoman in 1993 and held that position for a decade before being named Bedford town supervisor. Currently in her fifth term, she will not be trying to make it six.

“After 10 years as supervisor, I think it’s time for new faces and new people,” she said.

When asked about what she’ll miss most, Roberts did not hesitate.

“Working with the residents,” she said. “In my mind, this is the best town in America. We have fabulous town officials and volunteers that make anything possible. It’s simply an outstanding community.”
