To the Editor:


In about eight weeks the voters of Princeton will have the opportunity to cast their votes for candidates seeking national, state, and Mercer County offices as well as for two candidates for Princeton Council. In light of recent events, our attention as Democrats has been drawn to the need to support Democratic candidates for the U.S. Senate and House to create a bulwark against the actions of a president who upholds neither his oath of office nor the rule of law. However, the quality of the people that we elect to Princeton Council is also important as our local elected officials make the decisions that affect the everyday lives of Princeton residents. Two current members of Princeton Council, Heather Howard and Lance Liverman, both progressive Democrats, will retire from elected office at the end of this year. Eve Niedergang and Dwaine Williamson are the two progressive Democrats who are running to succeed Lance and Heather, and they have been endorsed by the Princeton Democratic Party following their convincing win in the Democratic primary election. Both Dwaine and Eve have participated in the life of the community as volunteers and have the knowledge, the experience, and the commitment to be effective members of Council. They are committed to achieving smart, sustainable growth, being fiscally responsible stewards of our public funds, and strengthening the core values of our welcoming and inclusive Princeton community. As members of Princeton Council they will provide a voice for all members of our community.

I ask you to join me in voting for Eve Niedergang and Dwaine Williamson, progressive Democrats for Princeton Council, in the general election on November.
