PRINCETON: Party and policies make a difference for Democrats
Dan Preston, Princeton Some people pride themselves in claiming that they “vote for the person, not the party.” While it’s essential to vote for candidates of excellent character and leadership abilities, party is equally important. Why? Because of policies and priorities. I support Heather Howard and Lance Liverman for Princeton Council. Because of who they…

WEST WINDSOR-PLAINSBORO: Residents will be served by re-electing Kaish to school board
Joanne Lasky, West Windsor I have known Michele Kaish for several years.

16th DISTRICT: Science will help Zwicker in making legislative decisions
Lincoln Hollister, Princeton On Nov. 3 we have a rare opportunity to vote for somebody for Assembly (16th District) who has the skill set of a scientist. Andrew Zwicker will use evidence and the scientific method to help guide him in legislative decisions. Politicians are bombarded by often misleading information provided by interest groups. We…

16th DISTRICT: Campaigns should be competitive and honorable
Jack Ciattarelli, Somerville In this year’s campaign for state Assembly, certain people are more partisan than ever and seemingly desperate in conducting a “win at all costs” campaign. The most recent example is David Goodman (Princeton Packet, Oct 15), with whom I’ve had extensive communication on campaign finance reform, which I support considering the influence…

16th DISTRICT: Vella and Zwicker best candidates to represent Princeton
Jenny Crumiller and Jon Crumiller, Princeton We urge Princeton Democrats to make a special effort to vote in the general election this year on Nov. 3. We have the opportunity to unseat our two Republican state Assembly representatives and replace them with two excellent Democratic candidates who are much better suited to represent the people…
