According to the unofficial results of last Tuesday's election, the race for three Bethlehem City Council seats this November will be fully contested. Bethlehem's voters will have six candidates from whom to choose.
On the Democratic side of the ledger, Political newcomer Colleen Laird attracted 3,784 supporters, followed by incumbent Michael Colon (3,352) and former Council member Bryan Callahan (2,441).
On the Republican side, Tim Ginther (1,014 votes) and Devin Brunges (848 votes ran unopposed. They will be joined by a third candidate, Jim Follweiler, who mounted a successful write-in campaign for the third spot, just two weeks before the primary.
Follweiler needed 100 votes and got 139. He won 99 votes in Northampton Couty and another 40 from Lehigh.

Folweiler is a great candidate to represent the views of the moderate sensible residents of Bethlehem whether they be Republicans or Dems. Reynolds far left agenda must be held in check by City Council & Folweiler & Callahan offer the only hope in that regard.
Reynolds is on a "apology tour". Thats what you have to do when you and your administration have arrogant attitudes and don't treat the residents respectfully. Arrogant, cocky and a smug attitude catches up to you after a while. As I've heard people say..."ONE TERM WILLY"
To whom has Willy apologized? Perhaps city council members he wants to toe the line for the next couple years & especially if Callahan gets back in council.
