South Whitehall Woman Joins Lehigh County Commissioner Race

Susan Ellis Wild, a Democrat from South Whitehall, is running for a Lehigh County Commissioner seat from District 2, according to an unofficial voter registration list.

District 2 includes South Whitehall, Lower Macungie, Upper Macungie and Alburtis.
