Newburyport Pride recently invited all candidates currently running for city office to answer a questionnaire about challenges facing the LGBTQ+ community, the celebration of Pride in our city, and anything else they would like to share with the Newburyport Pride community. Here are the questions we asked:

• What do you see as the biggest challenges facing the LGBTQIA+ community in Newburyport and in what ways do you see yourself supporting us in elected office?

• Do you support the annual celebration of Newburyport Pride? What does it mean to you?

• What is your opinion of last year’s theme “Existence is Resistance”?

• What are your hopes for Newburyport Pride 2026?

• What Newburyport Pride events have you attended? Tell us about your favorite Newburyport Pride event!

• Is there anything else you would like to share with the Newburyport Pride audience?

We are linking here to the candidates’ complete responses. We are grateful to all the candidates who have responded, and we will continue to update this site as we receive additional surveys. Please check out the candidates’ questionnaires by clicking on the buttons below!
