Angela Grogan, Mayor Port Hope 2026
A Port Hope that works for everyone
Fair taxes. Real transparency. A town where every neighbourhood — not just the ones near the water — gets a seat at the table.
“Leadership is not a performance. It is a responsibility. It means listening with respect, acting with integrity, and being accountable to the people you serve.”
— Angela Grogan
The Platform
Committed to Trust, Transparency, and Community
I am running for Mayor because I believe Port Hope deserves a municipal government that earns the trust of its residents every day.
For approximately thirteen years, I have followed local government closely by attending council meetings, making deputations, researching municipal issues, asking difficult questions, and advocating alongside other residents. Through those experiences, I have come to appreciate both the strengths of our community and the opportunities to improve how local government serves the people of Port Hope.
About Angela
She's not new to this work
Angela Grogan is running for mayor of Port Hope for a second term, and she’s bringing the same approach she’s used for years: show up, listen first, and follow through in public where people can hold her to it.
She’s the founder and chair of the Northumberland Diverse People Coalition, where she’s spent years building bridges across a county that doesn’t always agree with itself — on race, on money, on what fairness looks like. That work doesn’t stop at town hall.
“A council that only listens to the loudest room in town isn’t representing the whole town.”
Angela’s platform isn’t built from polling. It’s built from porches, coffee shops, and a decade of showing up to meetings most people skip.
One Port Hope
A town divided doesn't have to stay that way
Port Hope’s neighbourhoods don’t all have the same income, the same background, or the same access — and pretending otherwise doesn’t fix it. Here’s how Angela’s approach is different.
01
Every ward gets a real voice
Rotating town halls in every ward, not just the ones closest to municipal offices.
02
Budgets in plain language
A public breakdown of where money goes, translated out of budget-speak, before every vote.
03
Built on lived experience
Years running the Northumberland Diverse People Coalition means this isn’t theoretical for Angela.
Help make it happen
Campaigns run on people, not polling. Knock on doors, host a lawn sign, or chip in what you can — every bit moves this forward.
