We support Tim Quinn for Princeton Council because of his exceptional public service to Princeton in several critical areas. In addition to his service with distinction on the Board of Education for nearly seven years, Tim has been serving on the Planning Board for the last three years. Because of his work ethic and consensus building leadership abilities, he has become chair of the Planning Board’s Zoning Amendment Review Committee as well as being appointed to the newly formed Neighborhood Study Zoning Group. As a member of the Planning Board’s Subdivision Committee, Tim pushed for greater public transparency and better notification to neighbors of changes that will affect them.
One of Tim’s issues of concern is housing “tear downs” and the type of replacement housing which can substantially change the character of neighborhoods and could ultimately price out current and future residents of moderate income. In these roles, Tim has demonstrated firm commitment to manage change while preserving neighborhood character to keep middle-class residents at the forefront of his decisions. His work will help to determine the future of Princeton’s housing, demographics and character for decades.
Tim was selected for these positions for his good judgment, community values, good listening skills and the ability to work well with a variety of people and organizations with different viewpoints to build consensus, which is no small thing in our current world.
Tim got his early political experience working for George McGovern as a 14 year old canvassing in the mill towns outside Philadelphia. He has shown through his public service to this community that he is an outstanding candidate to represent and work hard for all in Princeton.
We support Tim Quinn for Princeton Council and urge others to do likewise when they vote on June 7, or earlier by absentee ballot.
