In March, Burlington will choose its next new mayor. Several council seats are also open. On Monday, December 4 at 5:45 pm, Progressives will meet to choose their candidates for these offices. A political party is nothing without its supporters, so if your preferred party is Progressive, you are needed to help choose candidates!
