Dear Editor:

Although we are looking forward to the coming presidential election, we cannot forget that there is an important election approaching for Northampton County Council members. As we prepare to choose these officials, I hope my friends and neighbors in Northampton County (District 3, including Bethlehem Township and Lower Saucon Township) will join me in supporting Lori Vargo Heffner for County Council.

Lori has experience. In both public and private spheres, Lori has fostered programs that work. These programs include services offered by our county, such as children and youth, mental health, and community partnerships. Furthermore, Lori is dedicated to our community. She will maintain adequate funding for programs used and enjoyed by county residents, such as local parks and trails. Lori also recognizes the importance of county facilities like Gracedale. She is dedicated to making sure residents, specifically our seniors, are given the respect and treatment they deserve. Finally, Lori is dedicated to fiscal responsibility. She is tired of seeing county tax dollars fund inefficiencies in the current administration and will keep a watchful eye on executIve spending.

Please make a plan to vote November 3rd. I hope you will join me in supporting Lori Vargo Heffner. Let’s make Northampton County a great place to live!
