Thank you to the supporters of Tamera Matteo

To the Editor:

I would like to thank everyone who came out in the Democratic Primary to support my efforts to become a member of the new Princeton Council. Although I was not successful in my bid for the nomination, I take great pride in the fact that we ran a positive and inclusive campaign.  We were able to motivate many Democrats to get excited about local politics for the first time while at the same time engaging long-time party supporters.  The experience was very rewarding.   

I would like to congratulate the six candidates who won the Primary and congratulate Liz Lempert for becoming the Democratic candidate for Mayor of the new consolidated Princeton.  I pledge my support to the Democratic slate for the November election.  

On a personal note, I would like to thank “Team Tamera” which grew to include too many wonderful friends to name individually, but who all know how much I appreciate them! I would especially like to thank my family, Joe, Lucia and Luke, for their unwavering support of my efforts.

Public service is a fundamental aspect of who I am, so I promise to stay actively involved in our community and to do the best I can to advance the community values that we all cherish.

Thank you,

Tamera Matteo
