To the Editor:

Over the next few weeks registered Princeton Democrats will have the opportunity to evaluate the perspectives and agendas of the candidates running in the June primary. Anne Neumann possesses a pragmatic insight into Princeton’s problems and needs, and a willingness to examine the issues to find solutions. Her experience of civic involvement has afforded her insight into the workings of municipal government and, as a long-time resident, she has a unique perspective on our character and sense of place.

Anne’s forward-thinking initiatives focus on affordability, the environment, and sustainability, as well as maintaining the character of our unique neighborhoods. Among her initiatives, she advocates for the creation of a volunteer economic development commission to promote new businesses and to bring to fruition the Consolidation promise to establish Neighborhood Advisory Councils aimed at better communicating the specific concerns affecting localized residents. She proposes the adoption of zoning ordinances that facilitate private solutions to affordable housing such as accessory dwelling units and micro-housing. And as the municipality struggles to harmonize and adopt zoning policies, Anne calls for the expedited passage of a temporary moratorium on new construction to protect neighborhoods from over-development.

Anne possesses the intellect and tenacity to research effective ways to govern and to move Princeton forward. Please join me in voting for Anne on June 7 so Princeton can benefit from her varied experience as she furthers her commitment to public service by offering fresh ideas to create an even better community.
