5 candidates fight for 4 seats in the Bethlehem City Council race
Posted May 10, 2021
There are five candidates in the Bethlehem City Council race vying for four open seats in the May 18 primary.
Incumbents Olga Negron and Council President Adam Waldron are not running for another term. Councilman J. William Reynolds is running for mayor against former city administrator Dana Grubb for the Democratic nod, and former Lehigh County Administrator John Kachmar is running unopposed as a Republican. If Reynolds wins his bid for mayor, it would create a fifth opening on council. His term expires in 2024.
The predominantly female slate of council candidates means that 2021 just might go down as the year of the woman in Bethlehem’s local political history.
