To help residents engage and inform themselves in preparation for Concord’s upcoming municipal elections, the Greater Concord Chamber of Commerce’s Local Government Affairs Committee, invited all city council candidates to complete a comprehensive questionnaire to highlight their priorities and perspectives for the future Concord’s community. This survey, developed under the guidance of committee chair Jim Bouley, replaces the former video interviews that the Chamber hosted in previous election cycles.
The questionnaire is divided into two segments: an open response section and a “lightning round” that features a series of yes or no questions. Topics cover a wide variety of matters that concern the city, including housing, the tax base, city spending, and homelessness, among others. Responses were compiled on the chamber’s website, and a printed summary was distributed in their monthly newsletter.
Bryanna Marceau, Chamber president, praised the collaboration of committee members, volunteers, and staff for making the initiative possible. “One of the primary focuses of our Chamber mission is advocacy, and this project advances our efforts in that area while informing the local community,” she remarked. “We appreciate all of the candidates’ participation, and believe this questionnaire can serve as a great informational tool in this upcoming election.”
