Allentown Keeps Its Three City Council Incumbents

Allentown Democrats have voted to keep incumbent Council members Ce-Ce Gerlach, Santo Napoli and Candida Affa around for another four years.  They were the top vote getters in a field of seven candidates. Gerlach led all candidates with 2,765 votes, followed by Napoli (2,270) and Affa (1,921)

The winning candidates were followed by Luis Acevedo (1,725), Sarina Torres (1,585), Rodney Bushe (1,335) and Tino Babayan (1,101). 

I'm a bit shocked that a person who dropped an underage runaway at a tent city, where he was sexually propositioned, would be the top vote getter. But that's me.

Candida Affa Seeks Re-Election to Allentown City Council

Candida Affa, a former saloon owner, will announce her plans to seek a second term on Allentown City Council tonight, 6 pm, at Louie's Restaurant, 2071 31st St SW, Allentown, PA 18103. In her statement, she claims to have "led the charge" on legislation banning conversion therapy and decriminalizing marijuana. She is also responsible for lying about one of the City's most prominent developers, and after getting caught, refusing to apologize. More importantly, she voted against cuts to Mayor Ray O'Connell's 27% tax hike. She also fails to mention that she was one of disgraced former Mayor Edwin Pawlowski's most ardent supporters.

Now before announcing her candidacy, she somehow got her hands on the City employee mailing list, like Susan Wild did, and sent a mass email dunning them for contributions.

For just $2,500, you can sponsor a meatball.

Fed Ed  taught her well.

She represents what is wrong in Allentwn.
