They will join Borough Councilman David Goldfarb, who announced his candidacy on March 5, on the June 7 primary ballot.
The deadline for announcing candidacy was supposed to be earlier this month, shortly after Goldfarb announced he would be seeking the nomination, but the Princeton Community Democratic Organization decided to extend the deadline until March 20.
Neumann is a three-time candidate for Borough Council, according to The Times of Trenton, and has served on several Democratic and municipal organizations.
She decided to run so that she could include more voices in the race and debate a wider range of issues, Neumann explained in an email to The Daily Princetonian.
“I am glad to offer the chance to debate and discuss issues,” she said.
If elected, she would hope “to see the Borough Council and mayor be more proactive in responding to ... major issues facing the Borough,” Neumann explained.
“They should be dealt with in advance, whenever [and] to whatever extent that is possible,” she added.
Neumann also spoke out against the University’s request for zoning changes for its planned Arts and Transit Neighborhood at a Borough Council meeting earlier this month.
Moore is a member of the Princeton Regional Planning Board, The Times of Trenton reported. She earned a degree in architecture and a certificate in African-American studies from the University.
Moore could not be reached for comment.
Goldfarb has served as a Borough Councilman for 20 years and also represents the Borough on the Borough-Township Joint Consolidation/Shared Services Study Commission that is currently evaluating consolidation options for the two municipalities.
He has also been inducted into the New Jersey Elected Officials’ Hall of Fame for his years of public service.
If elected, Goldfarb hopes to focus on careful spending and community input, he told the ‘Prince’ earlier this month.
The current Borough mayor, Mildred Trotman, announced on March 5 that she would not be seeking reelection in order to spend more time with her family. Trotman has served as mayor since 2005 and as an elected official in the Borough for 26 years.
The Princeton Community Democratic Organization will hold a meeting on April 3 to determine who it will endorse in the June primary.
The winner of the primary will appear on the November ballot.
