Helen A. Chiarello Szabo (April 17, 1923 – August 11, 2015) was an American politician who served in the New Jersey General Assembly from the 13th Legislative District from 1976 to 1978.[1][2]

Szabo took office in a 1976 special election to succeed S. Howard Woodson, who resigned to head the New Jersey Civil Service Commission. In turn, Szabo stepped down to become the superintendent of elections in Mercer County and was succeeded in a November 1978 special election by Gerald R. Stockman.[3]

Szabo died in New Jersey on August 11, 2015, at the age of 92.[4]

"Stockman, a Democrat, was elected over Republican Mario D. Rossetti to complete the unexpired term of Mrs. Helen Chiarello Szabo as General Assembly member for the 13th District. Mrs. Szabo had resigned from the Assembly to take her new job as Mercer County superintendent of elections. Stockman will complete her term and presumably will run for re-election to a full two-year term next year. The pattern was sequential. Mrs. Szabo, a journeyman or journeywoman Trenton politician, had come into the Assembly in a special 1976 election to fill the unexpired term of the Rev. S. Howard Woodson, formerly speaker of the House, had resigned to take a better political job as president of the State Civil Service Commission."
