Bob Grindle: Selectman 

After nearly 48 years in Hampton I continue to find pleasure in living in our small community…from the deeply personal pleasures, like walking our scenic trails and stargazing under our dark northeastern Connecticut skies behind the town hall to the ease of civic engagement and working to solve local problems. Serving on the Board of Selectmen over the past ten years has only strengthened my belief that small town government works best when everyone shows up and expresses their opinion and “puts their (effort) where their mouth is” by giving a bit of time to help get the tough jobs done. Voting is one very good way of making that effort and I thank you for your support.

John Tillinghast: Selectman

I have lived in Hampton for 41 years.  During that time, I have served as a Selectman, Region 11 Board member, and was a member of two school building committees. I have also been a Boy Scout leader for 30 years. I now hope to once again serve as Selectman.  I believe that my experiences in town government and other activities in Hampton give me the background to be an effective member of the Board. Thank you for your support.

Shannon Pearl Haddad: Town Clerk

I am delighted to serve as your Town Clerk. It has been rewarding and I look forward to continuing to serve as I work toward certification. I have completed four of the six courses and will complete the process in 2023. I am also seeking a seat on the Board of Education where I am passionate about supporting our students, staff, and town.  I thank all those who have supported me, and I hope to continue to serve Hampton.

Ellen Rodriguez: Town Treasurer

The past 1½ years have been challenging, but I am fortunate to access technology to continue my accounting duties without interruption. I provide accurate and timely financial reports and I am always available to respond to your questions. I am an important link between employees, vendors, selectmen and board members and I consider my work to be valuable to all town residents. I hope that you will support me once again as I look forward to another term.

Joan Fox: Board of Finance

My background in mathematics and my long time public service in Hampton qualifies me to serve on the Board of Finance. For the past one or two years I have attended several finance board meetings either in person or via zoom. My goal will be to work cooperatively with the other town boards serving our citizens while maintaining accountability for our finances. I look forward to working with our finance board members. Thank you for your support.

Jacqueline Agnone: Board of Education

I am running for the Board of Education. I will come to the job with an open mind, creativity and the objectivity necessary to perform all of the functions of a school board member. I am excited to devote the time and energy that this growing community deserves. I moved to Hampton two years ago and have a daughter in Kindergarten. I would appreciate your vote.

Maryellen Donnelly: Board of Education

A love of learning and curiosity are talents nurtured at Hampton Elementary. We examine how each child learns and progresses in skills, both academic and the ability to work with others, fundamental to any vocation. As a Board of Education member for the last 12 years and retired teacher, I stay informed and work with others so that children learn in a safe environment and we remain within budget. I request your vote and thank you for your consideration.

Diane Gagnon: Board of Education

Since my retirement, I’ve become very involved in the community, serving on the Inland, Wetlands & Watercourses Agency and the editorial board of the Gazette, preparing the Seniors’ Luncheons and Memorial Day Barbecues, and last year, helping with holiday celebrations at the elementary school. My time on the Board of Finance has proven to me the importance of the sound financial decisions that must extend to the school. Our town can provide an excellent education that is also affordable.

Kevin Grindle: Planning and Zoning

I look forward to continuing to serve the community of Hampton by protecting our rural agricultural character, promoting responsible development patterns and encouraging land preservation throughout our Plan of Conservation and Development.  I bring nearly twenty years of professional landscape architecture, planning, permitting and engineering experience to our planning & zoning commission.  I am confident that my professional experience, and many years of service to the Town of Hampton helps with a diverse understanding of the goals of the community.

The candidates for Constables, Democratic candidates Chris Bayne and Jeff Smith, and Republican candidates Matt LaFontaine and  Dan Postemski are incumbents seeking re-election.
