Democrat Mayor Ed Pawlowski has held on for his fourth term as Allentown’s Mayor, defeating Nat Hyman the Republican candidate.
According to the Morning Call, Hyman conceded the race late Tuesday night.
Hyman is conceding. Pledged would not run again.

I’m guessing congratulations on winning reelection Ed and i’m hoping for this will be your last term as mayor here.
