“We have a choice among some excellent candidates. I really think it’s a very strong group. Because this is the first consolidated election, I think there’s a higher level of interest than in the past. As I drive through Princeton, I see yard signs that you almost never see for primaries. The fact that people are aware and focused is fantastic.”  —Brian McDonald, Princeton

“I am pleased with the candidates, but I need to get a little more familiar with a couple that I am not familiar with yet. I do think that it is definitely significant as we are going into consolidation. We need some good people to make this change.” —Susan Colby, Princeton

“Yes and yes, I think it’s very significant because it’s the first government of the new Princeton. There are issues that need to be thought about from the former Borough and Township. I’m a Borough person, and am comfortable with those that I know. So I will probably vote that way.”  —Bill Moran, Princeton

“It’s extremely significant and really exciting. I think all the candidates are just so qualified. I’m still hung up about who to vote for on Tuesday.” —Carol Salus, Princeton

“I’ve not been paying close attention to the candidates. I always have faith that whoever is elected will do a good job. It’s significant for those who want to make it significant. There was dispute on both sides. It’s done now.”  —Tom Mellis, Princeton

“I’m thrilled that we have consolidation. It’s a time for new people to come into office.” —Kate Newell, Princeton
