On Friday night I caught up with Steven Ramos at a local hotel. Steven was there to support his brother Robert, who was making his fourth showing as a professional fighter. It was a tough fight, with Robert and his opponent battling to a draw. Before the fighters had even exited the ring, the promoter hinted at a rematch. As tough as that fight was, Steven has a tougher one coming up this November. He will battle the winner of the Democratic primary, either Tatiana Tooley or Peter Schweyer, for the new 22nd State House seat. Steven Ramos is a Republican Hispanic running in a Democratic stronghold. If Steven loses, look for rematches down the road, the Ramos brothers are tough.

UPDATE JUNE 1, 2021: This coming November a third Ramos brother, Tim, battles Matt Tuerk for the mayorship of Allentown. With Tim Ramos being a Republican, although the odds are against him, Allentown will benefit from two worthy opponents recommending how to make the city better.
My Money is on Tim Ramos,
