My name is Nancy Gorski, and I am honored to announce my candidacy for Selectman for the Town of Killingworth.
For the past 26 years, I have been proud to call Killingworth my home. Throughout this time, I have dedicated myself to public service in our community, including:
- Board of Education – 6 years
- Board of Finance – 12 years
- Selectman – 2 years
- First Selectman – 2 years
Since leaving the First Selectman’s office in 2023, I have realized how much I miss serving the town I love. I am eager to continue contributing my experience and commitment to the people of Killingworth.
As Selectman, my priorities include:
- Advancing PFAS remediation to protect our community’s health while promoting transparency in communications.
- Holding the Board of Education accountable for fiscal conservancy in its annual budgets while also working collaboratively on next steps toward its strategic plan.
- Forming a committee to study forms of government, as recommended by the Charter Revision Committee in 2023.
- Completing an ethics policy and establishing an Ethics Commission.
I believe in responsible and transparent leadership that puts the needs of Killingworth residents first. With your support, I hope to continue serving our community as Selectman.
