Peter Wolanin and Jon Durbin, Princeton
As chair of the Princeton Democratic Municipal Committee and as president of the Princeton Community Democratic Organization (PCDO), respectively, we are writing to encourage all Princeton Democrats to consider serving their community by getting more involved in the local Democratic Party or the local government.
We invite you to join us at an open house meeting on Sunday, Dec. 13, from 3 to 4 p.m. at the Suzanne Patterson Center (behind Monument Hall) in meeting room No. 3 to learn more about the different ways that you can get involved.
This is an informal opportunity for Democrats to learn about the local political process and municipal elections. Topics to be covered include how candidates get on the ballot, the local Democratic Party endorsement process, and the different Democratic organizations in Princeton.
Membership in the PCDO is open to all registered Democrats. The PCDO works to elect progressive candidates and has monthly, public programs to discuss issues affecting all of us on a local, state, and national level. Elections for the PCDO executive board will be held in January and we welcome interest from those who wish to learn more about the organization and to serve, either now or in the future. If you are not able to attend the open house, information on becoming a member of the PCDO is available at www.princetondems.org/join.
The members of the municipal committee are elected in each voting district, and you can get connected with the representatives for your voting district. You may email municipal-chair@princetondems.org if you would like more information about the municipal committee or running for local office.
As we mark the fourth year of a consolidated Princeton at the end of 2015, we also want to thank the members of the municipal committee and PCDO for their support of a transparent and vibrant political culture in
Princeton that helps keep our government responsive to its citizens.
