Jill Jachera: It's Been an Honor to Campaign for Borough Mayor

Dear Fellow Princetonians -

It has been an incredible honor over these last many months to campaign for the office of Mayor of Princeton Borough.

In my discussions with residents and students in town and on campus, I am again reminded of the reason I chose Princeton to be my home. We are a breathtakingly diverse, scenic, bustling, and imaginative community and I consider it a privilege to live here. 

But, through my campaign, I have become even more deeply concerned that our community is threatened with a broad array of challenges that threaten the sustainability of our unique quality of life.

I am running for Mayor to fight for Princeton's future.

I believe our community deserves a government which represents the best of who we are. I believe a Mayor should have an open door policy to hear and deliberate every reasonable point of view. I believe a Mayor should have the vision and experience to solve problems proactively. I believe a Mayor should seek to build bridges and not moats between our various constituencies. I believe a Mayor should behave with a standard of professionalism that reflects well on the community.

Despite attacks on me by desperate political operatives, attempting to distract voters from the plain fact that this is a race about Princeton and not about party label, I am proud to have run a positive issue-based campaign that has united Democrats, Republicans, and unaffiliated voters.

I pledge to each of you to bring an unwavering commitment to doing right for our Princeton if I have the privilege to serve as your Mayor. 

Jill Jachera

Candidate for Princeton Borough Mayor
