Bethlehem Councilwoman Crampsie Smith 1st to declare in 4-seat council race
Updated Jan 23, 2021;
Bethlehem City Councilwoman Grace Crampsie Smith is seeking her first four-year term on the governing body.
The Easton Area High School counselor was already running unopposed to fill a two-year council term when Councilman Shawn Martell resigned in September 2019. Council appointed her to fill the short-term vacancy until the November election.
Crampsie Smith then won the two-year term created when Eric Evans resigned to become city business manager and was sworn in January 2020.
With that term expiring next year, Crampsie Smith is running in 2021 for a chance to continue her agenda of “assuring public health and safety, balancing economic development with housing that is inclusive and affordable, and encouraging sound fiscal management.”
