Voting for what's proposed brings advancement (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

promotion

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'advancement' is the definition.
(I know that advancement can be written as promotion)

'voting for what's proposed' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'for' could be 'pro' (as in being 'pro' something) and 'pro' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'motion' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'brings' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for promotion that I've seen before include "Advancement" , "sales campaign" , "Publicity campaign" , "Step up" , "that should result in more money" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
