DEMOCRAT MICHELE HAZZARD

DEMOCRAT ADAM R. LANDIS

DEMOCRAT JESSICA COPE

REPUBLICAN SCOTT HOLMES

I grew up in North Catasauqua. I was an active member of the North Catasauqua Fire Department for over 30 years, prior to stepping down. After 30 years of service, I retired as a correctional officer from the county of Lehigh. I currently serve on the board at St. Stephen’s Church in Whitehall.

I have decided to run for borough council after our fire department disappeared. We have a town hall that is not handicap accessible or even up to code. I also want to see more transparency and an end to wasteful spending. Our town, our future!

REPUBLICAN MARK S. GIOIELLI
