Dale Daubert, who first joined the South Whitehall Board of Commissioners in 1990, held onto his seat in Tuesday's election by 51 votes.
South Whitehall Commissioner Dale Daubert survived another political challenge in Tuesday's election, solidifying his distinction as the longest tenured commissioner in the township's history. Daubert was one of four people -- and the only incumbent -- seeking three seats on the board. With candidates Glenn Block and David Bond appearing on both the Democratic and Republican ballots (which gave them an edge at the polls), the real contest on Tuesday was between Daubert and political newcomer Brian Hite. As expected, Block and Bond, who had won both party nominations in the primary, were the two highest vote getters, winning seats on the five-person board. Daubert, who did virtually no campaigning, won the third seat by a 51-vote lead …

Three political newcomers and an incumbent are in the race for three seats on South Whitehall Board of Commissioners. The township budget is the big concern.
Three political newcomers and an incumbent are battling for three seats on the South Whitehall Board of Commissioners in an election on Tuesday that will surely change the face of the board, no matter the outcome. With two incumbents choosing not to run this year, the five-member board will have at least two new commissioners. All of the candidates are Republicans. Here's who's running: -- Glenn Block, a certified public accountant and vice chair of the South Whitehall Zoning Board. He won both the Democratic and Republican nods in the primary and will be on both ballots. -- David Bond, a divisional vice president for transportation for a department store chain and an emergency medical technician. He also won both the Democratic and …

League of Women Voters sponsored forum at Luther Crest for candidates for South Whitehall commissioner and Lehigh County judge.
Three of the four candidates for South Whitehall commissioner took voters' questions at a candidate forum Monday night at Luther Crest, addressing development, township spending and environmental issues, among other topics. Glenn Block, David Bond and Brian Hite were on hand for the forum, sponsored by the League of Women Voters. Incumbent Dale Daubert phoned prior to the start of the forum to say he was ill and could not attend, a league member said. Candidates for Lehigh County Judge -- Democrat Dan McCarthy and Republican Doug Reichley -- also attended the forum, primarily outlining their qualifications since judicial code prevents them from commenting on issues. Here's what the South Whitehall commissioner candidates, all Republicans, …

Editor, I am writing this letter as a small business operator and lifelong resident from South Whitehall Township to endorse Brian Hite for South Whitehall commissioner. Brian has shown dedication and commitment to the township, serving as a planning commission member as well as always being at board of commissioner meetings on his own free time to be a more informed person. Several times I have asked Brian about an issue or situation affecting me or my business in the township and he always provides excellent guidance and advice. Well-informed or willing to research to find out an answer along with always willing to listen is something that South Whitehall needs in a commissioner. Brian has my vote on Election Day and I encourage everyone…
