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.
