Kenneth "Kenny" Wilkos
Town Council

Kenneth “Kenny” Wilkos was born and raised in Windsor CT, and is proud to be a part of the 4th generation to call Windsor home.  A graduate of  Windsor High School, Kenny attended New Hampshire College, which has become Southern New Hampshire University in Manchester NH.  Upon earning his Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration, Kenny came back to Windsor where he and his wife Lynn permanently made Windsor their hometown.

Kenny works in the pharmaceutical industry as a Specialty Account Manager in Rheumatology and Lynn is a homemaker and very involved with their two children.  They are active members of St. Gabriel’s Parish and are often seen volunteering throughout the church and the community.
Kenny has always been deeply rooted and involved in many Windsor based programs, including local government.  Aside from completing two terms as a Windsor Town Council Member, he has given countless volunteer hours, including 10 years on the Town of Windsor Tax Assessment Appeals Board, he also provides the annual Hay Rides for the First Town Downtown Halloween Fright Fest or driving various Floats for the Shad Derby Parade with one of his tractors. Maintaining tradition in Windsor is truly important to Kenny which is why fighting to maintain government services while maintaining balance in the Board of Education over his years on the Town Council has been first and foremost. Always outspoken to challenge annual requested  increases, Kenny works hard to control rising costs and increased expectations within annual budgets for the Board of Education and Town Government.

Over the past 4 years, Kenny keeps lines of communication between the citizens of Windsor and the officials who work for them.  He also continues to believe there has been a dramatic shift in dialog with citizens of Windsor and the Town government. As an example, the Democrat majority party completely disregarded the 2017 spring budget referendum which was a clear rejection by the community voting unanimously against the Republicans and the Windsor community by voting to increase the mill/tax rate by 3%. With the State of CT budget uncertainty and its potential negative impact to Windsor, we should be working proactively to control and even reduce spending while maintaining government and BOE services for the people of our community. 
​
Ken pledges to continue to be responsive to the people of Windsor; listening to and working with his fellow councilors, the Board of Education, the Town Manager and the Superintendent.  Together we will listen to the residents, and be responsible in spending their tax dollars now and for future generations.  We will remove barriers that should not exist in any government organization, and in our community.  Our town has always been based on the efforts of volunteers including the many civic and service groups in Windsor, the Fire Department, Ambulance Corps, and our volunteer town government and board of education among many other important organizations. Those whom step forward to offer personal time to volunteer or even support these many organizations and events are what makes Windsor truly incredible. Our individual involvement is what knits the fabric of Windsor together.  Each citizen helping others in whatever way they are able makes for a strong community cloth.”
