As the School Board Finance Chair and a City Councilor, I worked to develop plans to make crucial renovations to our public elementary schools.

It’s wonderful to finally see these plans come to fruition and hear about the impact this is having in the lives of educators, admin, and students.

These renovations are not only important to bettering the quality of education in our schools, but they also show each student that our community cares about and values them.

Wishing all students, families, and educators a happy school year ahead!

A new year and a new school for Presumpscot teachers and students Principal Angela Taylor says the renovations at the Portland elementary school, paid for with part of the $64 million bond passed by voters in 2017, have given the community 'a space that is created with children in mind.'

Come support our campaign, and local farmers and vendors while you're at it!

Dear Friends,

I'm excited to share that I’m running for Mayor of Portland this November.

As I discussed this decision over the past several months, two things became clear. First, we're facing incredible challenges right now, from housing prices to homelessness to education and so many others. Second, It's clear that most Portlanders don't believe the City is doing enough to address these challenges with the urgency they deserve.

I'm running for those people – those who feel increasingly left behind by a housing market that's pricing them out, and elected officials more comfortable talking about issues than making the hard decisions that create real change.

I spent 12 years in City government, serving on both the School Board and City Council. In each of those offices I was successful in creating real change, from minimum wage increases to elementary school renovations, from programs that have helped thousands of asylum seekers to new offices that have improved housing safety and given job skills training and English classes to hundreds. That's why I know that as Mayor I can help solve the challenges we face today.

I’m running for Mayor to move Portland forward from vague ideas to the specific policies and programs we need to bring Portland into the future and create real, lasting change that helps Portlanders of all stripes.

Please, join our campaign and let’s work together to make Portland the best place possible for today’s families and generations to come.

Sincerely,
Justin Costa
