Hillsborough Candidates

Samantha Hand

Samantha is a mom to two college-aged daughters and three rescue dogs. She’s an executive healthcare leader, and a tireless community advocate. Samantha is one of our two democratic incumbents currently serving on the Township Committee.


During her last three years on the Township Committee, Samantha has held the line on taxes, promoted increased transparency and accountability, and delivered real results for Hillsborough families. She has worked collaboratively with county and state leaders, and fostered relationships to bring resources back to our community. Her guiding principles are to keep Hillsborough affordable and an attractive place to live, work, and raise a family.

Meghann Valeo

Meghann is a mom to three school-aged children and a rescue dog. She's not just running for Hillsborough's future—she's raising it!


A United States Army veteran and professional engineer, Meghann brings discipline, leadership, and practical problem-solving to every challenge. She believes in smart, community-driven planning that protects our quality of life while ensuring Hillsborough remains a place where families can establish themselves and thrive.


Hillsborough families deserve a Township Committee that works as hard as Samantha and Meghann. They are committed to accountability and advocacy, whether that’s the responsible stewardship of tax dollars or encouraging investment in our community. They know that every decision must put residents first.

Let’s take some time to talk about our priorities…

Lower Costs

Plan for the Long-Term

Plan for the Long-Term

We'll fight against wasteful spending, and short-sighted decision making so more of your money stays in your pocket. Efficient spending and holistic planning helps keep the essential services our community expects and depends on.

Plan for the Long-Term

Every project and program should be planned carefully, with community input. Shortcuts have gotten us to a fiscal cliff, and have led the Township to reduce services. Thoughtful planning today creates a stronger Hillsborough tomorrow.

Prioritize Public Safety

Foster Partnerships at Every Level

Foster Partnerships at Every Level

Public safety is a foundational component of the quality of life for Hillsborough residents. Keeping our neighborhoods safe means ensuring our police, firefighters, EMS, and first responders have the support and resources they need to protect our community.

Governing is a team sport. We'll work hand-in-hand with our county and state partners to bring more resources back to Hillsborough. It’s our job to make sure our community has a strong voice in every room where decisions about the allocation of funding and resources are made.
