Kocsis offers a strong sense of community and deep seeded roots in the city. His grandfather served Bethlehem as a firefighter and school bus driver while his father worked among neighbors at Bethlehem Steel. “My family always instilled in me the value of hard work and an appreciation for those in our community,” Kocsis said. “I look forward to the opportunity to represent Bethlehem and give back to those who have given so much to me.”
Kocsis, a 2004 graduate of Bethlehem Catholic High School and 2008 graduate of Moravian College believes in representing the below:
• economic growth and development
• clean and safe neighborhoods
• public safety
• government oversight and fiscal responsibility
Kocsis believes that smart growth and long term changes can offer Bethlehem a successful future while preserving the history and culture of the city.

Blogger's Note: According to his LinkedIn, Jeff is a compliance officer at the Pa. Gaming Control Board, whatever the hell that is. Currently, there are no Becahi grads on Bethlehem City Council. Reynolds, Callahan, Waldron, Stellato and Evans are all from Liberty, which is why I never trusted them. Recchiuti is a Freedom grad like Ken Kraft, and I trust them even less. Unfortunately, I'm a Beca grad, so we might be worse. The Pope has offered me money to claim I'm from an Abe Atiyeh Charter school or that I home schooled with Ron Angle.

Do Bethlehem people ever vote for people that aren't inbred. For a city they are worse than Bangor.
any body except reynolds and recchiuti. stop the jc clan inbreeding
Jeff will be a excellent Councilman. he worked for me several years ago and is a very hard and dedicated worker. good luck Jeff.
Jeff is a very good young man with a well calibrated moral compass. He would be an excellent choice.
Martell is a Beca grad too.
I would like to see at least one Republican run or do they have absolutely no shot?
"Martell is a Beca grad too. "
There you go. I think he is Beca and Moravian, just like Jeff.
Folks, I really don't care where anyone went to high school and was just having fun.
Thanks, Jim and Chris, for endorsements with a name. Few people have the courage to do that anymore.
Not afraid to hide who I am or what i say.
I wen to high school with Jeff. He was our class president. FYI he works for Lehigh County now. I don't think you can be involved with politics if you currently work for PA Gaming.
That's what I thought.
I would like to see at least one Republican run or do they have absolutely no shot?
None what so ever. barring some bizarre circumstance, a Republican cannot win there. The registration is far too lopsided.
I also went to high school with Jeff and he was a leader then and a leader now. He has a strong moral compass, works hard to accomplish his goals, and genuinely concerned with his neighbors and their welfare. He will focus on what matters and offer viable solutions. His positive character is unwavering. Fyi..he doesn't work for the gaming commission.
He will have to resign his job on the Gaming commission for a part time job. He should just drop out of race now
I worked at the gaming board with Jeff. He is no longer working here with us I beleave he works for lehigh County . He did a great job when he was here and will do a great job as a councilman. I don't live in bethlehem but, I hope one day my town could have a councilman as good as Jeff.
I beleave he works for lehigh County
Hatch Act??
Better re-read the Hatch Act. It does not apply.
This man bleeds Christmas City. He will be mayor one day.
Haha! Oh geeze, here we go. Another "future mayor" Get in line.
Show your true name if you're going to make comments like this
Bernie, I all seriousness, please explain why the Hatch Act doesn't apply to employees of a county government. Thanks
Because the law was relaxed for municipal officials.
So if you are born in Bethlehem, go to all Bethlehem schools including college, stay in Bethlehem. Only use Bethlehem toilets and marry a cousin, you are ready to be in the city government.
OK, I will take Bangor.
Again, show your true name if you are going to. E making comments ts like this. It's 1:44 am and you're talking trash on a local blog. What, your wife (if you even could get one) kick you out of bed and make you sleep on the sofa?? Save it, pal.
Jeff is a great guy and would serve the citizens of Bethlehem well.
Sincerely,
That Guy
First off I would like to point out that I have known Jeff since he was in grade school as he has been my brothers best friend forever. With that out, Jeff will be a tremendous asset to city council. He truly loves Bethlehem and believes it has the potential to become even better than it has. The biggest thing is that Jeff will do what elected officials are supposed to do. Listen to the people he represents and abide by their wishes.
Good luck Jeff!
