Laird, Colon and Callahan Win Bethlehem City Council Seats

Political newcomer Colleen Laird won the most votes in the race for the Democratic nomination to three seats on Bethlehem City Council. She attracted 3,784 supporters, followed by incumbent Michael Colon (3,352) and former Council member Bryan Callahan (2,441).

Following the winning candidates were Celeste Dee (2,391) and Ricky Butler (2,391). 

Two Republicans - Devin Brunges and Tom Ginther - ran unopposed. James Follweiler waged a write-in campaign for the thrid Republican spot. Whether he was successful will be determined when the votes are formally canvassed.

At least Callahan got elected to offset Laird left wing pocket vote for Willie agenda. Should be some interesting dialogue to make council meetings entertaining.

Callahan is just as liberal, left leaning as Laird or Reynolds. Suddenly though he is now an "outsider" if anyone is not an outsider it's Bryan Callahan

Reynolds head just exploded. No more bullying the woman on Council. He is getting what he deserves. He talks about inclusiveness and equality but at his State of the City Pep Rally he had his select white women up on stage with him but he left out in the crowd Dr. Enix, the first African American Councilperson in Bethlehem history.
Dr. Enix and Councilwomen Grace Crampsey Smith were so upset that they got up and walked out in the middle of his BS propaganda show. Watch the Video.

6:48 pm: Wee Willie likes to think he is a bully, but he is anything but. His ineptitude is well known and there is no bullying of Council because they are just like him. Callahan may be a liberal in moderate clothing, but his dislike for Willie may be beneficial to Bethlehem at large. Hopefully Reynolds and Evan’s are just a bit nervous.

Reynolds and Callahan would arguably both be republicans in any other city. Hoping Colleen helps out a clamp on the out of control developers around town.

Reynolds a Republican in another town is bizarre. He is Bernie Sanders Jr!!!

Mr. and Mrs. Evans shall both be a bit nervous. We wonder, can the gig be coming to and end soon. She does and knows nothing. But then again, neither does he.
