With the lackluster performance of Donchez, it does seem absence has made the heart grow fonder. He would give Brown his biggest challenge but it does look like Northampton is increasingly turning red. There is also no reason for the Democratic strongholds of Beth and Easton to turn out for county elections making this cycle a tough one. Also it appears the Dem slate for county council is very weak. You may think the Dem slate from the last cycle was a little retro but it offered quality and experience. Something voters do not seem to value much anymore.

In 2013 Seyfried and Heckman ran. In fact Heckman just came up short in the Republican sweep of council. Not enough Bethlehem votes in the Fall and that was about it. Same problem this coming year. I think both Seyfried and Heckman are busy on retirement but who knows one or both may run again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-87607151799221822222016-12-31T12:56:27.445-05:002016-12-31T12:56:27.445-05:00My dream ticket Callahan or Panto for ex and Reibm...My dream ticket Callahan or Panto for ex and Reibmam, Seyfried, Grucela, Heckman and Sifar or Heller if he can retire.
