WFMZ - Best Source for Local Election Information

Want to thank WFMZ for its election coverage and information. I may have missed it online, but couldn't find a full list of races in either Express or the Call and the County site had no information, but WFMZ had multiple counties with all race results and their tv coverage ran non-stop last night. Northampton County results are here.

I love local races because they can be so close and a single vote can make a difference. Case in point, Upper Nazareth Tax Collector was tied at 27 votes each for Amy Stoudt and Colleen Pulliam (special note - the % in indicates 50% so it may be that only one polling location reported of the two)

Court of Common Pleas

I received more mail from these eight candidates than bills in the past month and that isn't easy to do;-)

Each ticket had three spots available and everyone cross-filed leading the D ticket were Zito, Koury, and Hollenbach. Top R ticket vote getters were Dally, Zito, and Koury. Combining the tickets, Dally had 10,927 votes, Zito had 10,434, Koury had 9234, and Hollenbach had 6253.

County Council

Former school board member Deb Hunter finished 2nd in voting in the D primary, while incumbent and former NASD teacher, Peg Ferraro topped voting in the R primary.

Nazareth Tax Collector

Four candidates ran for tax collector in Nazareth and Pat Barlieb edged Renee Pfeiffer 184-125.

Stockertown Council

Four candidates vied for three seats and Wenzelberger, Zito, and Wenzelberger were top vote getters with 39, 31, and 24 votes respectively.
