Who is Bill Wallace?



William Wallace has been trying to get on Northampton County Council for two years. In 2007, he challenged popular Mike Dowd, a UCC pastor and then Chamber of Commerce VP. Dowd defeated Bill 5027 to 4082, but Wallace refused to participate in the smear campaigns being waged by other Democrats. He ran a clean campaign focused on bringing passenger rail to the Lehigh Valley. Ironically, Rev. Dowd is the council member who later introduced a rail transportation study.

Wallace, a schoolteacher, is trying again, this time for an at-large seat. In addition to the video above, you can read about him in detail at The Express Times Voter Guide.

  1. And you claim Lorraine is vague, good grief.

    The only thing he didn't throw out there was the tooth fairy making flights to Orlando from LV International.

  2. That's why I'm thankful for the video. You may see things I don't.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
