For nine years she served conservative political leaders and elected officials in Washington in administrative capacities, and afterwards enjoyed ten years as a missionary in the then newly independent Republic of Latvia. Shortly after completing her work there, Betsy returned to the Washington area to join the current battle to preserve liberty, free enterprise, and limited government in the U.S., which is when her path crossed SPN's.
