Priorities

Maria Bagley’s priorities are shaped by her experience as a Concord resident, mother, grandmother, small business owner, public finance professional, and community volunteer.

Maria will champion:

Fiscal Responsibility and Transparent City Government

Use Maria’s public finance experience to protect taxpayer dollars, make responsible budget decisions, and ensure residents understand how and why City Hall acts.
