Candidate · Hillsborough County Treasurer
Sound, conservative, transparent stewardship of New Hampshire's largest county — built on modern systems, plain-English reporting, and a healthy respect for the taxpayer's dollar.
Chris Maidment is a candidate for Hillsborough County Treasurer. A husband and father of four, he and his family raise pigs, chickens, and golden retrievers on their property in Peterborough.
Chris has a strong interest in technology and artificial intelligence, and believes those tools — applied with discipline — can give county taxpayers a more transparent, more efficient government.
As Treasurer of the largest county in New Hampshire, Chris will protect Hillsborough County's finances with the same care he gives his own family's: conservative, transparent, and built for the long run.
Four straightforward commitments for how the Treasurer's office should operate — and for what Hillsborough County taxpayers should expect from it.
Hillsborough County handles tens of millions of dollars in taxpayer money each year. Chris will manage that cash conservatively — prioritizing safety and liquidity over chasing yield, and ensuring every county dollar is accounted for the moment it moves.
County finances shouldn't be a black box opened once a year at an annual meeting. Chris will publish a public dashboard showing where county money is held, what it's earning, and how debt service is tracking — updated regularly, in plain English.
Manual checks, paper ledgers, and yearly Excel reports belong in the past. Chris will modernize how the Treasurer's office operates — secure online payments, real-time reconciliation, and stronger internal controls that protect taxpayers and county vendors alike.
Sound debt management lowers interest costs. Strong cash reserves prevent emergency borrowing. A well-run Treasurer's office quietly saves county taxpayers money every single year — without a single new program or political slogan. That's the job, and Chris will do it.
