Collins will be the first woman town supervisor in Rotterdam’s 200-year history.
She says absentee ballots will be counted Friday. While she’s been declared the winner, she wants to see those final numbers.
Collins self-funded her campaign, spending about $2,800 on it.
She says her office will be open to anyone in town who has questions and suggestions.
Collins was born and raised in Rotterdam.
She decided she wanted to lead the town for one simple reason.
"I saw Rotterdam becoming a town I no longer recognized," she explained.
Her main concern is plans to put up big apartment buildings in town.
