To the Editor:

It is with great conviction that I enthusiastically support Dick Woodbridge as candidate for the first mayor of united Princeton.

At this crucial time in Princeton’s history, it is imperative that we choose the best candidate to help us smoothly transition through the merging of the two Princetons. This process will help to determine the success of the new government, and will be highly visible on a State level.

Dick’s highly-regarded experience as a former mayor of Princeton Township and on Township Committee, as well as his membership on Borough Council qualify him as the only candidate with experience in governance in both Princetons. Dick’s deep roots in our community, dating back from grade school through college at Princeton University, along with his lifelong professional career in Princeton as an attorney, make him highly qualified to lead us at this time. Dick’s long-time devotion to local volunteerism and community activism allows him an insight which will be most beneficial in bringing the two communities together.

Never before has it been more important for Princeton to choose its leadership. We are fortunate to have an ideal candidate to move us forward into the first chapter of our future as a united Princeton. I endorse Dick Woodbridge for mayor and I urge all Princeton voters to do the same.
