About ken

Bio:
Ken Hilton grew up in AZ and after high school quickly moved into the trades workforce. In 1982 he moved from Arizona to NH to work at Seabrook Nuclear Power Station. In the late 1980s after marrying and moving to PA, Ken became a master plumber and owned his own plumbing and heating business for many years before moving back to the NH seacoast area. 

His skills and talents in plumbing and welding took his family abroad where he volunteered on a hospital ship serving West Africa alongside coworkers/volunteers from 35 different nations. After five years of living on board the ship with his wife Jennifer and their 4 children, they returned to the USA in 2006 and lived in Texas for 12 years where Ken worked as the Supply Manager for Mercy Ships.

In 2018, the family returned to the Live Free or Die state of NH settling in Somersworth. Ken Hilton started his own plumbing company in April 2023 and enjoys all aspects of residential service plumbing.

Politics:
Ken worked as an election judge, helped in others’ campaigns and moderated city election debates while living in Texas. Most recently he also ran for Mayor of Somersworth last November 202, ran for state rep in 2022 and has served as an alternate on the zoning board since 2022.

His desires for Rollinsford and Somersworth are for a renewed sense of community and a spirit of volunteerism which both come from personal responsibility.

He believes this can be accomplished with honor and courage while preserving personal freedoms.
