George R. Temple

George R. Temple serves as the First Selectman of Oxford, Connecticut, operating out of Oxford Town Hall at 486 Oxford Road. He is supported in the Selectman's Office by Administrative Assistant Kristyn Rosa, Receptionist Lois Caprio, and Selectmen Secretary Maika Mucciacciaro. Temple has held the position of First Selectman for seven terms, making him a long-tenured figure in Oxford's municipal government. During his time in office, he has overseen various infrastructure projects, including the reopening of the Park Road bridge over the Little River, a ceremony at which he was joined by fellow town officials and construction workers.

Temple's political career has been documented in the State of Connecticut Elections Database, reflecting his repeated successful campaigns for the First Selectman position as a Republican. In July 2025, Temple faced a significant political challenge when Jeffrey Luff, described in reporting as a former protégé, narrowly defeated him at a Republican caucus. Temple was described as undecided about his next steps following that result. The race attracted further attention in September 2025 when police union leaders became involved in the contest between Temple and Luff ahead of a primary election.
