To the Editor:

Jenny Crumiller and Patrick Simon deserve your vote for re-election to Princeton Council based on their tremendous service to the community leading up to consolidation, and their success in office during our first year as one Princeton. They share the fundamental values that are representative of Princeton while also having the intelligence and independence to help us find the best solutions to local challenges. They have already delivered savings promised by consolidation that lead to a very rare cut in the municipal portion of property taxes this year.

I’ve worked with Jenny on political and social issues for over a decade now. She has fought more than anyone I know for openness in our local political process, including competitive primaries, involving citizens in the budget process, and posting the agenda and meeting documents online. Jenny is also committed to representing and fighting for everyone who lives in Princeton.

Patrick was outstanding as a member of the consolidation commission both for his analytical depth and his willingness to clearly promote the benefits of consolidation to the people of Princeton. Patrick has carried through on his dedication to seeing consolidation succeed by serving on Council, and I trust him to continue working for our success.

When you vote for Council members on November 5, Democrats Jenny Crumiller and Patrick Simon are the right choice for Princeton.
