My name is Michele Nuhn. I am currently the tax collector for the town of Killingworth and am running for re-election. Since I am asking for your readers’ votes, I’d like to tell you about myself and my qualifications for the position.

I have eight years experience as Killingworth’s tax collector. I enjoy working with facts and figures and the public. A graduate of Haddam-Killingworth High School (HKHS), I hold an associates degree in business administration and am a Connecticut certified municipal collector. I have 11 years of banking experience including management positions. I spent one year as assistant town clerk. I also ran a home daycare business and was a preschool teacher at Killingworth Nursery School.

I am a lifelong resident of Killingworth. My husband Todd and I have two daughters, Alexis and Mikayla, who both attend HKHS. I’m an active member of our community, a former Girl Scout leader, and a member of St. Lawrence Church, where I enjoyed being a religious education instructor for two years. I enjoy making crafts and participating in craft fairs and taught craft classes at HK Recreation for several years. Most of all, I enjoy watching my daughters dance at Backstage Dance Center and cheer at the HK football games.

During my eight years as tax collector, I have implemented several systems that have increased taxpayer convenience and improved back tax collections. I take pride in doing my job efficiently and accurately. I am proud to say that Killingworth’s most recent collection rate was 99.379 percent.

I’ve enjoyed working as tax collector over the last eight years and would love to continue serving the Town of Killingworth in that position. I ask for your readers’ support and vote at the polls on Nov. 3.
