Kunka Files For CdA Mayor

Huckleberries has learned that Joe Kunka has filed his candidacy papers for Coeur d'Alene mayor this morning. Kunka, who ran an unsuccessful long-shot campaign against incumbent Mayor Sandi Bloem four years ago, is one of three individuals who have said they are going to run for the position. In 2007, Kunka ran for the seat currently held by Councilman John Bruning, finishing fifth in the five-way race with only 4.68% of the vote. Mayor Bloem has told Huckleberries Online that she is going to run for an unprecedented third term as the Lake City mayor. Josh Arnold, a 30YO planner for the Coeur d'Alene Indian Tribe, also has said he'll seek the office.
