3 Running for 2 Lower Saucon Council Seats

Three Republicans have filed petitions to appear on the May primary ballot as candidates for two open Lower Saucon Township Council seats.

The deadline to file a petition to appear on the primary ballot was March 12.

Incumbent council members Glenn Kern and Ronald Horiszny are seeking reelection to four-year terms.

Kern is the current council president.

Donna Louder, a resident and landfill committee member, will challenge Kern and Horiszny in the primary.

Since last year, Louder—whose husband is a township police officer—has been vocal about IESI Bethlehem Landfill's proposed expansion plan at meetings.

May's primary is closed, so the two highest vote-getters among Republicans will likely be the winners of the council seats in the fall general election.
