Three Democrats Want to Be Next County Executive

Although it's been two years since Northampton County voters chose to keep Gracedale from being sold, the county-owned nursing home remains a hot issue.

So much so that the three Democrats running to become the next county executive list Gracedale as one of their top priorities.

Bethlehem Mayor John Callahan, county Councilman Lamont McClure, and former are all seeking the Democratic nomination for executive in next Tuesday's primary.

Patch asked all three candidates to fill out questionnaires about themselves and the issues. Click on their names below to see how they responded.

The three candidates also spoke about their positions—while attacking those of their opponents—in a debate last week.

The winner of the primary will face Republican John Brown in the fall. Brown, the mayor of Bangor, has no primary opposition.
