To run for Princeton Council, and to be elected and serve, is an act of connecting, giving, helping, and ultimately, service. When I think about the candidates for Princeton Council in this way, I know a vote for Tim Quinn will be a vote well-cast.
In recent letters, I’ve seen residents comment on Tim’s committed service to Princeton, from his work at the library to that on the Board of Education and Planning Board. One thing people may not know is that Tim’s service extends to some of the most vulnerable members of the Mercer County community, the young people who take shelter through the services of the Anchor House in Trenton.
I’ve known Tim for 10 years, getting to know him through his Anchor House work and being roommates with him on the Anchor House Ride for Runaways. The annual bike ride fundraiser helps support Anchor House’s critical programs and services, and I know how much work Tim puts in to make the ride a success. Tim is the secretary of the Anchor House Foundation and co-chair of the Ride for Runaways, so while a week of riding can be a lot of fun, it’s also a week of work for Tim. He’s been involved for 25 years and always puts the mission of the Anchor House and service to kids first.
I feel it is this type of service and commitment to the community that speaks highly of Tim, and that recommends him as an excellent choice for council.
