Scott Ott, the Tea Party supporter who is crusading for fiscal sanity and against cronyism and corruption, beat the Republican establishment in Lehigh County to run as the party’s nominee for county executive.
The rank and file in Tuesday’s primary chose him over party-supported Dean Browning, a former county commissioner, 6,837 to 5,429 (unofficial results).
He faces Democrat Tom Muller in November.
Ott is the author of the satirical website Scrappleface and is a commentator on Tea Party-friendly PJTV
