Elections
2015
Five of the nine seats on the Bethlehem Area Board of Directors were up for election in the general election on November 3, 2015. There was a primary election on May 19, 2015.
Incumbent Craig Neiman ran unopposed and won re-election to the Region 2 seat. He cross-filed in the primary election and won both the Republican and Democratic nominations for the seat. He originally filed to run for an at-large seat as well but withdrew from that race.
Region 3 candidates included incumbent Eugene McKeon and newcomer Dan Treffinger, who also ran for an at-large position in the primaries. McKeon won both primaries for the Region 3 seat and was, therefore, the sole candidate to advance to the general election for the region. While Treffinger did not advance in the Region 3 race, he did advance from the Republican primary for the at-large seat.
In addition to Treffinger, the race for the at-large seat included Dean Donaher and Thomas Thomasik running as cross-filed candidates, as well as Karen Beck Pooley running as a Democrat. Donaher, Thomasik and Pooley defeated Treffinger in the general election.
Other candidates that ran in the primary election but did not win a nomination were incumbent Basilio Bonilla, Inez Aguilar and Samuel Nazario. No independent candidates filed to run in the general election.[2][3]
