Paul Hilliker is seeking the position of Highway Superintendent of the Town of Conesville. He plans to "keep the quality of the roads we have" and keep the tax burden as low as possible for residents.

Hilliker brings his ten years experience on the Highway Crew between 2010 and 2017 and since worked as a bus driver for the Cairo-Durham School District.

The candidate grew up most of his life in the area and predicts that he would be able to work well with any board that is elected.

He decided to run "we're trying to make sure the people have a choice. I don't want to see it go to a one-party town." He asked whether residents are "happy with the present service?" He said he likes much of incumbent Dave Porter's job performance.
