To the Editor:
I am writing in support of Dina Shaw for Princeton Council. Dina is a person who gets things done, whether it’s building and selling her tech business or her extensive track record in volunteering with many organizations in Princeton. I’m sure this will translate to her work on Princeton Council.

Dina is not afraid to speak up. Dina was the first person to bring concerns about overcrowding in our schools to the Board of Education. Mindful of the costs associated with educating students, Dina also persistently and effectively pushed the PPS administration and Board of Education to set up procedures to ensure that only those students living in Princeton were attending our schools. I was on the Board of Education at the time and was impressed with her persistence in showing up to Board meetings and speaking effectively. If she was able to successfully push the school administration and Board — unfortunately, no small feat — imagine what she can do for Princeton when part of the Council. With the upcoming implementation of the affordable housing plan, we can count on Dina Shaw to use her experience to effectively look out for us all in balancing the competing needs.

We need people in our local government who will speak up, ask questions, and get things done. Please join me in voting for Dina Shaw in the Democratic primary on July 7.
