The editor of Fig Bethlehem magazine is jumping into the Bethlehem City Council race.
Kiera Wilhelm, 48, is running as a Democrat for one of the four council seats up for grabs this year. The Moravian College alumna said Fig Bethlehem’s mission is to support and promote local businesses and groups in the city and Lehigh Valley.
“Many of our small businesses have been devastated by the pandemic, and I am inspired every day — now more than ever — by their dedication and commitment, and I want to do more,” Wilhelm said in a press release announcing her candidacy. “Connecting with so many hard-working business owners, particularly in the past year, has fueled my desire to run for city council. Their needs are diverse, and diverse opportunities to help our small businesses exist — council can and should serve as an accessible resource in getting them the help that they need.”
