Liz Lempert for Mayor

We support Liz Lempert for mayor of the consolidated Princeton.

 

There are several critical leadership
qualities required to serve as mayor of our community as it moves through the
vital process of consolidation.  We are
most fortunate that mayoral candidate Liz Lempert meets this rigorous test and
indeed exemplifies what is needed – a new generation of leadership.

A.) Commitment to the consolidated
community –Liz has demonstrated a strong commitment over the past several
years to working together as one community – a requirement for consolidation
leadership.

B.) Inclusive planning – Liz has
excellent planning skills – both short and long term – with all community
stakeholders.  

C.) Fiscal responsibility -- We have
closely watched and worked with Ms. Lempert as liaison to the Finance Advisory
Committee in her efforts to both keeping the tax rate flat while at the same
time maintaining the high level of community services that Princeton deserves.

D.) Timely decision-making -- Liz has
the ability to tackle the endless debates that often immobilize local
government and guide the governing body to decisions in an efficient and
effective manner.

E.) Sensible – We find that Liz is
informed by the past but not blocked by it. 
She tempers a strong vision with a focus on the present with practical
attention to detail.

 

These five leadership assets provide the
foundation for a new generation of governance and partnership.  As Mayor, Liz Lempert will lead us
successfully over the next several years to a consolidated Princeton,
envisioned by the Consolidation Commission and supported by the voters.   We urge you to vote for Liz Lempert.
