The 2009 mayoral electioninAllentown, Pennsylvania was held on November 3, 2009, and resulted in the incumbent mayor Ed Pawlowski, a member of the Democratic Party, being re-elected to a second term over Republican Party candidate Tony Phillips.[1]

Background

[edit]

Incumbent mayor Ed Pawlowski was seeking his second term as mayor, having first been elected in the previous election in 2005.

Campaign

[edit]

Pawlowski would be challenged in the Democratic primary by longtime city employee and former follower Dick Nepon. He would handily defeat Nepon with almost 82% of the vote.[2] Pawlowski's followers also attempted to write him in as the Republican nominee in an effort to cross-file Pawlowski to forego the general election. However, this effort would fail and Tony Phillips would secure the Republican nomination.[3] It is unknown how many write-ins Pawlowski received as a Republican as they were pooled into his total as a Democratic candidate.[2] Pawlowski would go on to defeat Phillips in the general election with almost 74% of the vote.[1][4]
