Betty Ann Kane was elected an at-large member of the Council of the District of Columbia in 1978 and served for 12 years. Kane is now a commissioner on the District of Columbia Public Service Commission.

Kane was a nonresident elected city commissioner for Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, from 1996 to 2005.

Kane was elected to the D.C. school board in 1974.

In 1978, at-large city council member Douglas E. Moore decided to run for council chairman rather than for reelection, and Kane took the opportunity to run for the seat he was vacating. She narrowly defeated H. R. Crawford in the Democratic primary and went on to win the general election. Kane was reelected in 1982 and 1986.

In 1990, Kane ran for delegate to Congress but lost in the primary to Eleanor Holmes Norton.
