Congratulations to the 2025 People’s Slate!

These are the City Council and Board of Education candidates who are for the people!

Bridgeport voters went to the polls on November 4th to elect the candidates who pledged to The People’s Platform and who will work on THE ISSUES we all care about: Education, housing, jobs, the economy, and more!

Bridgeport Generation Now Votes and the Unrig Bridgeport Coalition are committed to advancing the policies laid out in The People’s Platform. And so are the candidates who are part of The 2025 People’s Slate! 

Together, we WILL implement the positive vision laid out in The People’s Platform, free ourselves from the systemic corruption that has held us back for too long, and finally build the Bridgeport we know is possible.

ABOUT UNRIG BRIDGEPORT

Bridgeport’s democracy is broken – and it’s our job to fix it!

As we hear over and over from Bridgeport residents, they feel their voice — and their vote — doesn’t matter. So much so that many people refuse to participate in our local elections because they think the game is rigged. Now, we’re coming together as a community and a city to change that.

Unrig Bridgeport is a broad-based coalition of grassroots organizations in Bridgeport, working together on a campaign to fix Bridgeport’s broken democracy. 

The campaign has three goals – legislative, electoral, and mobilization.

GOAL #1

We're fighting at the state and local level for The People's Platform: a policy plan that offers a transformative vision for good government, education, housing, public safety, the economy, environment, infrastructure, and the arts - and takes on the culture of systemic corruption in the Park City. Our wins include passing The Empowered City Council Act and securing an independent Election Monitor that will oversee our local elections for two years.

GOAL #2

In 2021 and 2023, all candidates in the primaries for Mayor, City Council, and Board of Education were invited to complete a candidate questionnaire, interview, and pledge to our platform. Endorsed candidates fight the political corruption that has plagued Bridgeport; help to fix the city's broken democracy; and advance real policies that support public education, affordable housing, public safety, the economy, and more. Candidates who are interested in receiving the 2025 endorsement should click the links at the top of this page!

GOAL #3

Since 2021, we've engaged tens of thousands of Bridgeport voters about the issues that matter to them and our collective vision for positive change. We knock on doors, send mailers, do text banking, make phone calls, and turn out the vote to get pro-democracy candidates elected and to pass The People's Platform.
