The winner of that race will take on State Rep. Joshua Siegel, who has previously announced his candidacy for the Democratic nomination.
“I have a proven pro-taxpayer record of fighting for common-sense ideas and needed government reforms that I will bring to Lehigh County’s government.” Simmons explains. “I’m a common-sense person. I think County Government can do more with less. This I can promise you…As your County Executive, I will never sign a budget that increases taxes, I will always support our law enforcement, and I will keep local zoning decisions where they belong…. with locally elected municipal officials.”
After spending 5 years in the private sector and successfully overcoming health issues that his previous opponents used as political fodder against him because he missed some time to seek treatment for his health, Simmons is now determined more than ever to give Lehigh County residents a new pro-taxpayer voice they deserve.

Simmons is fraud. In recent years he has aligned himself with democrat political operatives. He is about to get smoked in a Republican Primary. The Republicans don’t want him.
I thought Justin was working for the Democrats. Honestly shocked to see him running as a Republican.
Definitely won’t vote for this guy. The amount of scandals that he is carrying is a reporters dream. He has no shot of winning.
Can't see a Republican winning Lehigh County. Even against MAGA turnout Dems won here in 2024.
I'm a commonsense guy with common sense answers.
Let me get this right. The guy who left his wife and child for a guy who works with the democrats, claims he is the best choice for the republicans. I’m living in the twilight zone.
That is untrue. He is aligned with Ray Lahoud, whom I believe is a registered R who supports both Rs and Ds. He looks beyond party. It is what I try to do except I have no money lol.
Nothing is ever perfect, but Lehigh County has experienced relatively stable and effective government for decades. I cannot imagine a good outcome from an executive race between Simmons and Siegel. Both candidates are awful choices.
Beat me to the comment. Two of the most unlikeable, unqualified people in the County. God help us....
Simmons had great constituent services and always made himself available to residents of the community. He’s got my vote!
I understand Simmons and Mckenzie hate each other. Anyone know why ?
"I think County Government can do more with less. This I can promise you…As your County Executive, I will never sign a budget that increases taxes"
I can assure you that County Government has been doing more with less and less and asking more and more from employees for the last 15 - 20 years. There is only so much juice you can squeeze...
Hyman for the win!
Siegel, by far, is the worst possible candidate!
Saying "do more with less" is like saying "don't fix the leaking roof and we saved you money".
There is another candidate that is going to be entering the race this week. He is going to bring the heat to Simmons and expose him for who he really is. It is going to be a fun primary to watch!
I literally would vote for anyone over Siegel. Even Pawlowski!
Fun to watch, as in dirty, mud slinging? ----- just what we need, more juvenile, hateful behavior.
Siegel is so narcissistic, & inexperienced that Ds will vote R in this one.
that's right, but the general public doesn't understand, so they expect it anyway and say government can keep cutting because they believe its all waste, fraud and abuse that has been drilled into their heads and then government can't function well (a self-fulfilling prophecy)
All personal BS. So what if the guy is gay. It’s 2025. Nobody cares.
Hahaha
Maybe because Mckenzie sat on committees and had accomplishments from his state rep tenure and Simmons didn't
