Michelle Pirone Lambros
Princeton Councilwoman Michelle Pirone Lambros has announced that she will run in the Democratic primary as a candidate for the New Jersey Assembly in the 16th District.
Assemblyman Andrew Zwicker is running for State Senate, leaving an opening for newcomers in the Assembly. Zwicker formally announced his bid for the senate seat after Sen. Kip Bateman announced his retirement.
Lambros, who has served on the Princeton council for 14 months, is the second Princeton resident who will seek the Assembly seat. Princeton scientist and musician Chris Fistonich announced his candidacy last month. Other Democrats are expected to formally announce their candidacies in the coming days, including former Montgomery mayor Sadaf Jaffer and Flemington Council President Caitlin Giles-McCormick. Fellow Democrat Roy Frieman will also seek a second term as an assemblyman.
In a bad year for businesses, this NJ borough opened 16 new ones
FLEMINGTON This Hunterdon County gem, measuring just one square mile and completely surrounded by sprawling Raritan Township, was able to open more small businesses in the past 12 months than closed within its borders. That has officials feeling optimistic for a spring and summer when COVID-19 restrictions may finally loosen.
Just three of the 16 new businesses are part of chains. The infusion of local flavor includes the newest of these shops, a retail store and photo studio called The Corner, which debuted last month.
Robin Lapidus, Flemington Community Partnership executive director, said the meaning of the borough s long-standing Love Flemington branding is twofold: a love for the community and its businesses. At no point has the combination of those two factors been more crucial than in the past year.
