Forks Tp Lawyer to Replace GOP Nominee in Council Race

James Fuller
Up until very recently, 19 year-old gun rights advocate Andrew Oliveira was running as the Republican nominee for Northampton County Council, District Two. Though I disagree with him about pretty much everything, I looked forward to seeing someone the same age as my grandson take an interest in local government. I was sure he would energize the campaign. Unfortunately, Oliveira has dropped out to tend to a personal matter. NorCo GOP Chair Lee Snover told me last night that Oliveira will be replaced by Forks Tp resident and Monroe County Assistant Public Defender James Fuller. He has been a practicing attorney for the past five years.

I know little about Fuller, but that will change.

Kerry Myers
The Dem nominee in District Two, Sandra Werner, also dropped out. She's been replaced by Kerry Myers, who recently retired from Lafayette College. Kerry fell short in a 2013 bid for an at-large seat on Northampton County Council, but  his job made it difficult for him to campaign.

Myers, who is about 8' tall, also coaches the 'Lil Rovers in Easton. He has also served as a softball ump, and has spent a lot of his personal time mentoring Easton's youth 

District Two, often called the Easton District, consists of Easton, Palmer Tp, Forks Tp, and the Boroughs of Stockertown, Tatamy, Wilson, West Easton and Glendon.

    We need a strong republican lawyer to counter McClure and his rubber stamp council.

    I know Mr. Fuller. He is a strong advocate inside and outside the courtroom. I look forward to see what he has to offer.

    Snover, she's drunk on Trump's Kool aid 24/7 so how is it that her voice matters?

    A few years ago or so Myers complained in public that the coaching staff of the Easton High School football team was "lily white". This caused some bad feeling.

    The utter lack of minority coaches in this area is very troubling to me. I have no specific knowledge about Easton, but Myers is certainly right about the Lehigh Valley. It makes no sense bc so many of the athletes are minorities.

    Just another example of why we need Ron Angle to make our county great again!
