The 2005 Northampton County Executive election was held on November 8, 2005. Incumbent Democratic County Executive Glenn Reibman ran for re-election to a third term. He was challenged in the Democratic primary by John Stoffa, a member of the Northampton Area School District Board, who attacked Reibman over a series of controversial tax increases.[1] Stoffa narrowly defeated Reibman in the primary, winning the nomination with 52 percent of the vote. In the Republican primary, former State Representative Bob Nyce defeated County Councilwoman, 42–37 percent, and advanced to the general election. Stoffa defeated Nyce by a thin margin, winning his first term as County Executive with 53 percent of the vote.
