I’m writing to encourage the residents of Deerfield to re-elect Tim Hilchey to the Selectboard on May 5. Tim knows Deerfield well. Prior to his election to the Selectboard he served on the town’s Conservation Commission and Community Preservation Committee. He has worked hard to bring state and federal grant

money to the town so that the new parking lot and electric vehicle chargers near Ciesluk’s Market cost the residents of Deerfield $0.

After the terrible and destructive storms in the summer of 2023, Tim worked to bring in over $1.5 million to rebuild Lower Road and Pine Nook Road. Tim worked hard to make sure the temporary site for the Tilton Library was properly outfitted and did the installation of the flooring and cabinetry in the site’s kitchen himself. It works for the temporary library now and it will work for future uses of the building. I’d like to see Tim continue to work for Deerfield on the Stillwater Bridge replacement, a new community center and other projects. Tim is respectful, approachable, energetic and hard-working — just the kind of person we need in local government. I’ll be voting for Tim Hilchey for DeerfieldSelectboard in May and I urge you to vote for him too.
