6 Democrats, 1 Republican Chasing 2 Princeton Council Seats

PRINCETON, NJ — Six Democrats and one Republican will seek two open, three-year seats on Princeton Council this year. Councilwoman Heather Howard and Councilman Lance Liverman are not in that group.

The two incumbents didn’t file petitions to run in this year’s elections by last week’s cutoff date for the June 5 primaries, according to the Princeton Clerk’s Office.

There will be no shortage of Democrats in the primary, though. Adam Bierman, Michelle Pirone Lambros, Alvin McGowen, Eve Niedergang, Dwaine Williamson and Surinder Paul Sharma all filed to run. Only two can win nominations, but one of them is virtually guaranteed a seat come November.

Lishian “Lisa” Wu is the only Republican running for council this year. Wu is the first Republican in three years to run for a council seat. June 5 is also the deadline to file a petition to run as an independent candidate in the Nov. 6 general elections.
