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
