On my left sidebar, I have a running list of the numerous candidates for Lehigh County, Northampton County, Allentown, Bethlehem and Easton offices. I will link to articles about the candidates that appear here and elsewhere. Feel free to check it out from time to time, and to root for your favorite candidate. It is my hope that, as election day draws near, you'll be able to use this running list to inform yourself about the candidates.Below is a lengthy list of all of them together. Do you know anyone who is running and who does not appear? Should I cover any other races? (I'm trying to stay away from school boards).

Comment re Easton races:
ReplyDelete"Bernie on your distinguished list, Easton has seven council persons including the mayor who serves on council. The mayor is on the chief executive officer. The city administrator is the chief administrative officer and operating officer. Easton is no longer like Allentown and Bethlehem due to a rewrite of their charter. The three at large council seats plus the mayor are up for election and the three district council seats will be up in two years."
I didn't think Krill was running for Mayor and I thought Kerry Myers and Reno were also running for council.
ReplyDelete3open seats on City Council in Easton.Then why did Ken Brown start off his campaign.And I though I read the Mayor was up for election.
ReplyDeleteThe most important thing is get out and vote. peace SWW
In Lynn Township, I know that Justin Smith is running for a seat on the Township Board of Supers, which will by then be my old seat.
ReplyDeleteIn H-burg Township, I hear tell that Steve Bachman is running for re-election, and Donald Trexler who may have been a former Supervisor. There may be others.
The NW-Lehigh school board race is wide open. You could do a whole piece on that, or just link to Northwestern Cares
David, Thanks for the link. I like it.
ReplyDeleteWeird sign in, should been nlvlogic
ReplyDeleteSteve Salveson from Hanover Twp (R) is running for controller of Northampton County.
ReplyDeleteLatest word from the John Ashley for Judge camp is that he has changed his mind about running.
