PRINCETON COUNCIL CANDIDATE MICHELLE PIRONE LAMBROS

THANKS SUPPORTERS & TEAM FOR PRIMARY VICTORY

Off-line Democrat Says Message Resonated With Voters

PRINCETON, NJ (June 8, 2019 –Michelle Pirone Lambros, who was elected Tuesday as one of two Democratic nominees for Princeton Council, released the following statement in response to the outcome of Princeton’s Democratic primary:

“I am very grateful to Princeton’s Democratic voters for their support. As an ‘off-line’ candidate running without the party endorsement, we were definitely the underdogs. This victory demonstrates that Princeton voters took the time to give their thoughtful consideration to our vision for Princeton’s future. Our message resonated with the community.

“I am very proud of the team who made that happen. Our success falls squarely on the tireless work of our volunteers and supporters, and on a close-knit campaign team without whom this effort would not have been possible.

“This has been a tremendous journey where we have come a long way in a short amount of time. Our platform is an ambitious one.  As much hard work as we put into the campaign, I know that there is much work ahead and I will count on the support of the community to move forward to realize our mutual goals. 

“I would like to commend my fellow candidates, Mia Sacks and Tim Quinn, on a campaign that focused on the issues and adhered to Princeton’s values and traditions of mutual respect and civility. I look forward to working with all of Princeton’s stakeholders to move our community forward.

“I was extremely fortunate to have been able to assemble a kitchen cabinet that included Caroline Cleaves, my campaign manager; Patty Soll, social media; my husband George Lambros, who served as treasurer; and advisers Bill Hare, Debbie Bronfeld, Dafna Kendall, Joanne Parker, Mark Freda, Mary Clurman and Peter Lindenfeld.

“A particular thanks to former Princeton mayor Phyllis Marchand, who for the first time since retiring from public service, campaigned as if it were her own campaign. I am extremely honored to have your support and confidence.”

Michelle Pirone Lambros, Mia Sacks and incumbent Princeton Councilman Tim Quinn were vying for the Democratic nomination for two seats on the Princeton Council. Sacks and Pirone Lambros were the top two vote earners, with 1,771 and 1,445 respectively. Quinn received 1,280 votes.
