Dawn Mount To Serve As New Municipal Clerk For Princeton

PRINCETON, NJ – During the last meeting, Council adopted a resolution appointing Dawn Mount as the next Municipal clerk.

Mount replaces Rayna Harris, who resigned earlier. Council president Mia Sacks called Mount’s appointment a “bright spot for Princeton” at a time of great uncertainty across the country.

Mount thanked the Council for the new appointment. hI’m Honored and privileged to serve you guys in this new role and to serve the residents of this town as well,” she said.

The new clerk worked as Harris’ deputy and before that, as a deputy clerk to Delores Williams who retired in 2023.

Williams was present at the meeting along with Mount’s family.

“I just want to say that I’m very pleased that you saw fit to choose a clerk that I’m so proud to call my friend, my daughter,” Williams told Council.

“We've been together for 20 years, and I know she will make you proud.”

Mount has been appointed for a three-year term beginning April 14, 2025, through April 30, 2028.
