George F. Hedrick, Selectman

Andrea L. Schull, Town Clerk

David J. Miller, Treasurer

Robert A. Rioja, Board of Finance

William T. Silas, Board of Finance

According to the press release, "The Killingworth Conservative is a group of Republicans who are respectfully challenging other Republican candidates for office in the September 10, 2013 primary.  It is felt that the Republican establishment has veered off the track of fiscal responsibility.  They lack the courage to stop some of the inane spending by the current Democrat leaders.  Killingworth Conservative members wish to be the new faces in town hall, bringing strong and thoughtful leadership, fresh ideas, and above all sound financial management."

"The attempt to waste millions of dollars to glorify the Town Hall is one example of what has brought Killingworth Conservative together.  This unnecessary spending scheme could have been stopped by our current leadership, but it was not.  Fortunately, we forced a referendum which allowed the people of Killingworth to vote it down.  Without the referendum, the Town Hall project would most likely have been approved by a town meeting controlled by a select group.  Although the project was soundly defeated by the voters, the Town Hall scheme has, surprisingly, been resurrected at almost the same cost."
