Blogger's Note: This is what Willie Reynolds, Bethlehem's incumbent Mayor, told Lehigh Valley For All in what, for him, is a surprisingly brief pitch.
I am running for re-election because we have made incredible progress as a city but there is more work to do. I am proud that we have kept our promises over the past four years. I encourage you to check out our city’s work at https://www.jwilliamreynolds.org/accomplishments. Over the next four years, we are looking to focus on
Working to increase housing attainability and affordability within Bethlehem and the Lehigh Valley
Completing our city’s first equity plan
Implementing Bethlehem’s Parks and Recreation Master Plan
Building a South Bethlehem Community Center
Making streets safer by executing major roadway improvements and implementing a Complete Streets and bike infrastructure strategy
Continuing to implement and execute Bethlehem’s climate action plan
Continuing to build cooperative strategies with the Bethlehem Area School District
Thank you for consideration of my re‐election candidacy. Please feel free to ask any additional questions that may arise at jwilliam@jwilliamreynolds.org. Thank you, J. William Reynolds

Wee willie is too woke and non-responsive to the commoners. Cab his butt
"Climate action plan" Lol. The cult lives. What a dope.
Equity? Oh boy woke Willie, you need to go.
So that's who our mayor is. Don't get to see him because I live on the Southside of Bethlehem.
Climate action plan my fanny. Shove apartments on any piece of land and add traffic congestion to the roads. Hey, Dopey, idling traffic = pollution.
Most of his platform has little or nothing to do with local government.
He is a complete phony. If you know him , he is revengeful and doesn't take calls, emails of respond back to people. He also stopped the tradition of the Mayor putting time aside for residents. Now he takes the $32 million in Federal Covid Money and wants people to believe that he did this.
Willie represents the far left part of his party & his agenda reflects this with DEI, climate change, and breaking up neighborhoods as his primary agenda.
The people that don’t interact with him don’t realize how vindictive & unapproachable he is if you don’t ascribe to his agenda.
Grace represents the traditional democrat who is approachable & believes in preservation of the unique historic character of our neighborhoods in all of Bethlehem.
Willie is a visionary and looks hot like a svelte Jean-Luc Picard id like to wax up that chrome dome with some baby oil and have him motor boat my prolapsed tucchus
If you think Woke Wilie is an enemy of homeowner residents of Bethlehem, wait for his running mate at the county executive level. Tara Zirinski is like being woke on steroids. She will work with Willy to sell out homeowners in the city.
He's the worst Mayor in recent history- an arrogant, woke, snob handed picked by the City cabal.
The 2 worst possible candidates!
Grace represents a refreshing change from Reynolds arrogant attitude and his Bernie Sanders/AOC agenda.
Bad listener & know it all attitude must be replaced in City Hall as it trickles down.
Willie has berated just about every institution in the city that stands in his way to grab power over his kingdom.
The Windish Churches on the Southside felt his wrath & then Lehigh was threatened to back off bidding against him.
He used his power of The Parking Authority to threaten eminent domain to take over their properties.
He used his power with developers such that not one of the city developers bid against him for the 3 properties. That was an incredible fact considering the real estate potential they offered to our traditional developers ( same ones that contribute to his campaigns over the years)
He has shown disrespect to institutions in the Historic District & once again used the Parking Authority as his weapon. He blatantly ignored the unanimous disapproval of his proposed Walnut Street Garage by the volunteers that serve on the Historic District Architectural Review Board (HARB).
That garage alone should be a basis for throwing him out of office. In addition to being historically inappropriate he is making it smaller & moving it further away from the Main Street merchants it is intended to benefit.
He has another inappropriate high rise Allentown type apartment (White Box)where the garage used to be ready to slam down our throats. He has deliberately delayed revealing the details ‘til after the election knowing he is violating the historical integrity of Main Street.
This guy is calculated, nasty, vindictive & must somehow be defeated to preclude another 4 years of tyranny for businesses & instutions in this city.
Wow for a second I thought that was a picture of Pee Wee Tuerk! I think most residents aren't into buying the idea of an action climate plan. Though no one should be pushed aside or not taken seriously this also means there is no reason to hang an LGBTQRS flag down the citizens throats. Shall we get into the homeless fiasco? The 'affordable housing' debacle? You've had your time and it was not used wisely.
He needs to go!!! He is moving this city into a extreme far left shit hole. His only focus is the Southside, a homeless shelter and his old playground on the North side. He hasn't put any money or effort into the West Side and completely ignores the Bethlehems Main St. and Historic District and the HARB. Vote him out now!
He not only ignores Main Street/Historic District & HARB but shows complete disrespect & animosity toward the residential District as well as the Historic entities that operate on Main Street.
Ignores the potential for tourism & maintaining the integrity that Main Street & residential district represent.
He's the worst of the worst!
You don't qualify in getting his attention
He's a POS who sidesteps Council ordinances and gives professional service contracts to his cronies and those profiting off his far left ideology without Council approval.
