Leticia Fraga has announced she will make another run for Princeton Council in the next election this year. The terms of Bernie Miller and Jo Butler will become available. Mr. Miller has said he will not run for another term, while Ms. Butler has yet to make a decision.

Ms. Fraga, who chairs the Board of Trustees of the Latin American Legal Defense and Education Fund (LALDEF) and was recently appointed to the town’s Civil Rights Commission, was defeated in the Democratic primary last June.

“I am running for Council so that every person who lives in Princeton can feel they are represented,” she said in a prepared statement. “I’ll fight for fair and just policies, responsible budgets, and lasting solutions to our housing affordability crisis. After many years of working as an advocate from the outside in, I am eager to join the ranks of your elected leaders. As an elected official, I will continue to listen openly to people’s concerns and work with colleagues to find solutions that ensure Princeton is a place that thrives economically and maintains its small town feel.”

In addition to her work with LALDEF, Ms. Fraga runs the Community ID program, advocates for unaccompanied refugees in the public schools, and serves on the board of Princeton Community Housing, the Princeton YWCA, and the town’s Send Hunger Packing program. Previously, she was vice chair of the Human Services Commission.

Referring to her recent appointment to the new Civil Rights Commission, Ms. Fraga said, “In my career as a civil rights specialist and years of community activism, I have honed my core values of hard work and justice. As a representative of the people to the Council, I will take on tough issues and work for community-based solutions that enhance Princeton by building on its many strengths.”

Originally from Mexico, Ms. Fraga spent her formative years in Washington State. She relocated to Princeton in 1999 with her husband Steven Nadler, an executive at Bristol Myers Squibb. She is the mother of 12-year-old twins as well as three grown children, and the grandmother of seven.

If elected, she said, she is committed to ensure that Princeton stays a strong and safe community. “With dramatic uncertainty at the federal level, Princeton must commit anew to the values of openness, inclusion, affordability and evidence-based solutions to the complex issues that we confront.”
