And to his team of four (Ott, Lisa Scheller, Vic Mazziotti, & David Najarian) running for four open Lehigh Valley County Commissioner (PA) slots: all four beat out incumbent Republican Dean Browning in Tuesday’s Republican primary, and at least three of them will be on the ticket in the general. The fourth may or may not be; they’re recounting that right now.

We covered this race last month: Scott Ott, of course, is the well-known (and on the Right, well-liked) Scrappleface and PJTV blogger who got involved in local politics because, well, somebody has to. His team of four reform-minded individuals are running pretty explicitly to put the brakes on spending on the county level; there’s more information about them and the election here. Congratulations on their success, and I hope that I can write that again in November.

VICTORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tue, 05/17/2011 – 22:33 — Anita

Tonight, May 17, 2011, the voters of Gilbert, Arizona accomplished what many Americans have been struggling to change in Washington, DC. They elected a Conservative Town Council.

Tonight, May 17, 2011, Gilbert residents cast their votes for Public Safety, Individual Rights, Integrity, Limited Government, Low Taxes, Free Markets, Fiscal Discipline, Personal Responsibility, Economic Vitality, and Fiscal Efficiency.

We are fortunate in Gilbert that our candidates are strong and principled. They are not the “lesser of two evils.”

We are fortunate also to have people in our community who cherish liberty and who will fight to preserve it. These people know that saving our country begins at home! We have a group of people who truly stand up for businesses: The Gilbert Small Business Alliance.

Ladies and Gentlemen, here are your new Council Members, in alphabetical order:

EDDIE COOK
BEN COOPER
VICTOR PETERSEN
JORDAY RAY

We must take our local, up close offices and that builds the base for our take back of the rest of gov’t.
