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.”
