Princeton Councilwoman Jo Butler Considers Political Future

PRINCETON, NJ — Princeton Councilwoman Jo Butler has told the Princeton Packet she will decide within the next couple of weeks whether or not she will run for re-election this year.

On one hand, Butler told the newspaper that she would like to be part of the decisions concerning issues such as renovating the downtown, re-zoning the Butler Tract and the Princeton University’s expansion.

She said Princeton Councilman Bernard Miller’s decision not to run for re-election and the looming retirement of Councilman Patrick Simon were also on her mind as she made her decision, according to the report.

Butler and Miller are the two council members up for re-election this year. Last week, Leticia Fraga announced she would be running for council in this year’s elections.
