Voters elected four members of the seven-member Bethlehem City Council<\/a> on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

On the Democratic ticket, incumbents Rachel Leon and Hillary Kwiatek sought re-election as Jo Daniels and Justin Amann campaigned to join them. Joseph Poplawski was the lone Republican candidate. <\/p>\n

Unofficial results show Democrats will retain their hold on all seven council seats. Council members serve four-year terms.<\/p>\n

With all Northampton County posting full results from all precincts and Lehigh County posting partial results from all precincts, Leon led with 12,714 votes followed by 12,254 for Kwiatek, 12,123 for Amann, 11,966 for Daniels and 4,923 for Poplawski. <\/p>\n

Results are unofficial until certified. Approaching midnight Tuesday, Northampton County reported all Election Day votes, partial mail-in ballots and no provisional ballots. Lehigh County was reporting partial results from Election Day votes across all precincts, in addition to partial mail-in ballots and provisional ballots. <\/p>\n

Two of the seats opened when incumbent Kiera Wilhelm decided not to run again and incumbent Grace Crampsie Smith ran for mayor instead. Crampsie Smith lost the Democratic primary to Mayor J. William Reynolds, who was unchallenged Tuesday in his bid for a second four-year term.<\/p>\n
