I have yet to finish writing about Lehigh Valley's upcoming municipal races, and the landscape is already changing. One candidate has withdrawn, two have been challenged and a third complaint is on the way.
Louder withdraws. - As one of my readers suggested, Donna Louder has withdrawn from both four-year and two-year Township Council race. Her departure means that incumbents Jason Banonis and Tom Carocci will be the GOP nominees for the two four-year seats. It also means that Jennifer Zavacky will be the Republican nominee for the two-year seat.
Bethlehem Area School Director nomination challenger. - Dellise Huertas has filed a Democratic nomination petition for one of three at-large school director seats but it has been challenged. This appears to be her first foray into the world of politics.
Palmer Supervisor. - Dr. Phil Taverna has filed a Republican nomination petition in the hope he can unseat incumbent Republican Dave Colver or Robert Smith. Dr. Taverna has long been a critic of Palmer Tp government, and in 2005 threatened to wage a write-in contest for Supervisor.
South Bethlehem Magistrate race. - I previously told you that Ilda Perna filed a nomination petition, but the elections office has been informed a challenge is on the way, both to the signatures on her petitionas well as her residency.

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.
