HAZLETON, Pennsylvania -- Mayor Lou Barletta, a Republican who gained national prominence by targeting illegal immigrants living in this small city, easily won re-election Tuesday to a third term.
He defeated a Libertarian candidate, John Medashefski, a coffee shop owner who had argued the city should drop its costly effort to push through a law targeting illegal immigrants.
Unofficial returns showed Barletta winning with 3,530 votes, or 90 percent, to Medashefski's 405 votes, or 10 percent.
