To the Editor:

I want to sincerely express my thanks to the 35 percent of Princeton voters who cast their ballots for me on November 5 and wrote letters to the editor in support of my candidacy. I would also like to acknowledge the press for its coverage of my campaign and to Democratic organizations for their energetic (but flattering) efforts to defeat my candidacy.

Although I’m disappointed I won’t have the opportunity in this election cycle to work with Democrat Council members to address the significant problems affecting Princeton, including property taxes, problematic relations with Princeton University, traffic, and the lack of inclusiveness for our Latino residents.

I won’t be on Princeton Council, but you will see me in the community doing my best to address issues important to us all.
