First elected as Township Collector in 2005, Krey was appointed as Trustee when Teschky took over as Supervisor following the retirement of Bob Dudycz in 2007. She was elected as Trustee in 2009 and 2013 when the Republican slate swept the elections against the Democrats.

During that time, she established the Sgt. Karen Lader Memorial Good Citizens Award in honor of Sgt.
