    RECOGNIZING THE TREMENDOUS SERVICE OF COUNCILMAN LANCE LIVERMAN

                                 ______
                                 

                       HON. BONNIE WATSON COLEMAN

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, March 6, 2018

  Mrs. WATSON COLEMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
tremendous service of Councilman Lance Liverman as he prepares to 
retire from Princeton's Town Council this year.
  Born at Princeton Hospital in 1962, Lance Liverman has been a 
lifelong resident of the town he loves. He was educated in Princeton 
public schools before attending college at Fairleigh Dickinson 
University and then transferring to Trenton State College, now known as 
the College of New Jersey so that he could be closer to home to help 
his ailing stepfather. After graduating college, Lance went into his 
stepfather's business before working for himself--first as a special 
courier and then in real estate.
  A native son of Princeton, Lance has given 30 years of public service 
to his community. For the last 15 years, Lance Liverman has served as a 
member of the Princeton Town Council where he has been hands on in 
addressing the issues facing residents.
  With his deep understanding of how Princeton works and with his 
charitable nature, Councilman Liverman has been a great asset on his 
council assignments. On the Affordable Housing Board, the Councilman 
uses his real estate knowledge to benefit the community, while he 
provides counseling for youth and their families dealing with alcohol 
and drug addiction on the Princeton Alcohol & Drug Alliance.

  All of Councilman Liverman's colleagues have called him, ``a truly 
unique Princeton citizen and a great human being.'' Another member of 
the council has called him ``Princeton's Hero,'' as he not only serves 
on the council, but also through his church, working with youth, and 
through his constant presence around town. This is why the local paper 
has described him as the ``Son of the Community.''
  Though Councilman Liverman will be stepping down from his seat at the 
end of this year, this does not end his service to his community. He 
has pledged that he will continue to serve the community and help make 
Princeton a model for social justice. He will also use his time away 
from the council to spend more of it with his wife LaTonya and his 
three daughters, Kelsey, Ashlyn, and Savannah.
  I urge my colleagues to join me in acknowledging the tremendous work 
of Councilman Lance Liverman and to wish him the best in his future 
endeavors.
