As REALTORS®, it is important to recommend candidates who support private property rights and issues important to the real estate industry. There is a growing list of candidates in this election who are pushing for radical housing policies, like increasing the deed/real estate transfer tax, rent control, rent stabilization, and mandatory annual landlord training programs. Local elections have a huge impact on our industry, and we are excited to support candidates we believe will help infuse common sense into our local governments.

Based on candidate interviews and recommendations from the Greater Lehigh Valley REALTORS® and its Political Action Committee (RPAC), the RPAC-supported candidates for the upcoming primary election on May 20, 2025, are as follows:

• City of Bethlehem Mayor – J. William Reynolds
• City of Bethlehem Council – Justin Amann & Celeste Dee
• City of Allentown Council – Jeremy Binder & Cristian Pungo

Candidates for county-level races will be interviewed and announced following the primary election.
