Lehigh Valley voters will head to the polls tomorrow for an election that includes key county, judicial, municipal and school board races.<\/p>\n
In the Lehigh County executive race, Democrat Josh Siegel, a state representative in the 22nd House District, faces Republican Roger MacLean, a former Allentown police chief and city council member. County executive Democrat Phil Armstrong is prevented by the county Home Rule Charter from seeking a third consecutive term.<\/p>\n
There are contested races for Lehigh County commissioner in District 3, where incumbent Democrat Zachary Cole-Borghi is facing Republican Jacqueline Rivera, and in District 5, where Democrat Sarah Fevig is running against Republican Patrick M. Leonard.<\/p>\n
In the judicial race for the Lehigh County Court of Common Pleas, Republican Patricia Fuentes Mulqueen, a seasoned prosecutor, is squaring off against Democrat Mark Stanziola, a longtime lawyer specializing in family law.<\/p>\n
In Northampton County, Democrat Tara Zrinski, the county\u2019s elected controller, is facing Republican council member Tom Giovanni for county executive. Incumbent Democratic Executive Lamont McClure has opted to run in next year\u2019s Democratic primary in the 7th Congressional District. County council features 10 candidates running for five seats.<\/p>\n
In the judicial race for the Northampton County Court of Common Pleas, Democrat Jeremy Clark is squaring off against Republican James Fuller for a seat that will open with the retirement of Judge Anthony Beltrami.<\/p>\n
In the Allentown mayoral race, incumbent Democrat Matt Tuerk faces a challenge from city Councilman Ed Zucal, a Democrat who lost his party\u2019s primary to Tuerk but won the Republican nomination as a write-in candidate. The city council race features four Democrats running for four seats, two of whom will be newcomers. Not on the ballot are incumbents Democrat Daryl Hendricks, who lost in the primary, and Zucal, who opted not to run for council as well.<\/p>\n
In the Bethlehem mayoral race, incumbent Democrat J. William Reynolds is facing no challenger after defeating city council member Grace Crampsie Smith in the May primary. In the city council race, four Democrats, including two incumbents and one Republican, are vying for four seats.<\/p>\n
In Easton, voters will pick a new District 2 council member because incumbent James Edinger declined to seek reelection.<\/p>\n
School board elections feature contested races across the Lehigh Valley, including in Allentown where in an unusual twist in the Democratic majority city, four Republicans are facing three Democrats and none of the incumbents are on the ballot.<\/p>\n
