To the Editor:

In 2014, year two of the new consolidated Princeton, two seats on the Princeton Council will be up for election. As the President of the Princeton Community Democratic Organization (PCDO) and as the Chair of the Princeton Democratic Municipal Committee, we are writing to encourage all Princeton Democrats to consider serving their community by running as a candidate for Council.

An open-house meeting will be held on Sunday, January 19, from 1 to 2 p.m. at 210 Moore Street. This is an informal opportunity for Democrats interested in running for Princeton Council this year or in the future to get advice and learn about the process including how to get on the ballot, and the local party endorsement process.

Princeton Democrats should join the PCDO or renew their membership by March 16 to be eligible to vote at the PCDO’s March 30 local endorsement meeting (dues are annual per calendar year, $15 suggested and $5 minimum). Membership information, online payment form, and a downloadable form are available at www.princetondems.org/join.

Jon Durbin, President

Peter Wolanin, Chair
