Democratic Pledge

Moving Manchester Forward

Manchester’s Democrats have worked hard to make our Town a place where people from all walks of life can be proud to live, work and raise their families. As the driving force in Town government for many years, we've focused on real solutions – not on headlines and sound bites. Others deliver speeches – we deliver results. You can depend on the Democrats to always do what is right for the people of our town and for the future of Manchester. You can depend on the Democrats to:

Make Our Town Safer: Put more uniformed officers on the streets.

Take Care Of What We Have: Protect our investment in town infrastructure by maintaining, repairing and renovating roads, sidewalks, bridges, town buildings and facilities.

Work Smarter. Spend Wisely: Promote the efficient use of our tax dollars; by continuously examining town services and programs to find new ways to deliver high quality services at the lowest possible cost to the taxpayers.

Continue To Rebuild Our Schools: Develop and carry out plan to repair, renovate and upgrade all of Manchester's elementary school buildings.

Build A Cleaner And Greener Manchester: Acquire more open space land and continue implementing energy-efficiency and environmentally responsible measures.

Plan For The Future: Work towards a consensus plan for addressing library space needs at Mary Cheney Library.

Make A Difference In The Lives Of Our Youth: Encourage expanded programming and outreach to at-risk youth.

Help Our Senior Citizens: Ensure that Manchester’s seniors receive all the services and assistance they need for health and happiness in their retirement years.

Be There For Every Emergency: Continue to improve the effectiveness of town-wide emergency medical, fire and public safety services
