Our Municipal Election takes place on November 7, 2023. This year the goal at PROGRESS PORTSMOUTH is to encourage as many citizens as possible to vote. Whether you rent or own your home, you pay taxes that pay for your roads, services, and schools. Inform your vote for the city councilors who steward the quality of life in our city.
CIVIC ENGAGEMENT
HELPING RESIDENTS BECOME CITIZENS
Following the 2021 municipal election, PROGRESS PORTSMOUTH will focus on community-wide civic initiatives. Initial ideas include the creation of a citizen dashboard and advocating for comprehensive policy and long-term plans for housing, sustainability, education, and transportation. We will create community-wide projects and recruit talented residents to breathe life into them. From our council we will continue to expect leadership that guides Portsmouth wisely into its future.
POLICY IDEAS
OUR IDEAS FOR PORTSMOUTH
With a focus on future-oriented policy making, PROGRESS PORTSMOUTH'S core interests are in fact-based governance, civic engagement, housing for all, economic and fiscal health, smart growth, environmental and climate action, education and recreation, arts history and culture, and mobility and safer streets. We're updating these ideas for the 2023 Municipal Election season. Stay tuned!
