Republican Primary

To The Editor,

Here we go again, Killingworth Republicans, another expensive taxpayer funded primary brought to you by the same group (The Killingworth Conservatives, aka The Better Choice, aka the Real Republicans) who refused to participate in the Republican nominating caucus, but rather choose to manipulate the system and circumvent established procedure in order to oust your duly nominated Republican candidates. They choose to remove a strong, electable, and experienced team of committed Republicans from contention in the upcoming fall municipal elections to be replaced by a     group who has little to no experience, demonstrate a lack of involvement in working to improve our quality of life in Killingworth, and shows a myopic vision of the future. These are the same folks who organized another expensive referendum last June designed to             defeat a municipal budget that would lower the property taxes of our citizens. Their key informational piece contained not one accurate or factual point. Their  pamphlet completely and deliberately misrepresented the proposed budget, and was purposely            designed to mislead Killingworth taxpayers.     
Please ask yourself this question. Is this a team of people we want to represent the Killingworth Republican Party in the upcoming November elections?  We need a strong experienced and electable team to challenge what will most likely be a strong Democratic  Party ticket.  The current group of Republican Party nominated candidates is just that team.   I urge you all to vote in the upcoming Republican Primary on September 10th and support the duly nominated team of electable candidates. Our party has a long and storied history of successful community leadership, and has demonstrated the vision that has made our             community of Killingworth the envy of many in our State. Again, please vote on September 10th.  

Respectfully,

John W McMahon / Past Chairman, Killingworth Republican Town Committee
