Meet the Candidates: A conversation with Gene Kilby, candidate for Front Royal Town Council

Meet the Candidates is a series on the Royal Examiner where we sit down with each candidate in our local election and discuss important issues.

In this Meet the Candidates session, our publisher Mike McCool speaks with Gene Kilby. Gene is running for Town Council in a Special Election (two-year term) for the seat vacated by Scott Lloyd. Also running in the Special Election is Wayne Sealock.

Gene is a longtime Front Royal resident and a Warren County High School graduate. He also has a degree in Business Administration from Howard University with a minor in civil engineering, math, and economics.

On Gene’s agenda is transparency and accountability in our local governments. He also wants to stress fiscal responsibility.

Here’s what’s on Gene’s agenda:

• Opening a functioning youth center
• Strengthening our mental health and drug addiction services
• Create a plan for our homeless population
• Advocate for affordable housing
• Collaborate with County for economic development
