As Mayor, Lempert’s Open-Mindedness, Energy, Spirit, Would Provide Just the Right Combination

To the Editor:

I believe Liz Lempert is the right candidate at the right time for a new Princeton. She has the unique ability to build bridges and trust between the two communities as we move to a consolidated municipality. Her accomplishments and abilities will only be more profound in the new Princeton:

• Liz is the only candidate to have support from Township Committee and Borough Council members. This speaks volumes for her ability to unify our new
community.

• She led the way on preserving the Princeton Ridge resulting in 60-plus acres of total preserved land in perpetuity. From promoting walking and biking, food waste recycling to sustainability certification Liz’s record on the environment and sustainability is unsurpassed.

• Her common sense approach in working with our Citizens’ Finance Advisory Commission and negotiating with Princeton University has resulted in both zero tax increases and our first-ever contribution from Princeton University to help ease residents’ tax burdens.

Liz’s open-mindedness, energy and spirit of collaboration provide just the right combination for our newly consolidated municipality. I encourage you to vote for Liz on June 5.

Mayor, Princeton Township
