Chris Watson

Board of Finance - Alternate


Chris along with his wife and two teenage sons have proudly called Lebanon home for the past nine years. A 25-year U.S. military veteran, Chris began his service as a Medic with the 10th Mountain Division and later became a Flight Nurse after graduating from the University of Connecticut. Over the course of six deployments and more than 100 combat missions in Iraq and Afghanistan, Chris demonstrated leadership, accountability, and a deep sense of duty.

In civilian life, Chris has continued that commitment to service. As a Nurse and Paramedic, he led Connecticut’s only air medical transport program, where he managed a multi-million-dollar budget, oversaw the addition of a third aircraft, and developed several community-based initiatives that are still in use today.

Chris holds a Master of Business Administration (MBA) from UConn and currently serves as a senior healthcare administrator in Eastern Connecticut. He was previously the Senior Nurse Director at Windham Hospital, where he managed teams, operations, and complex budgets.

Chris is running for the Lebanon Board of Finance because he understands the importance of responsible budgeting and long-term financial planning. With decades of experience managing large-scale operations and balancing fiscal priorities, Chris is ready to serve our town with integrity, transparency, and common sense.

He has a personal stake in Lebanon’s future—and he’s ready to get to work.
