Councilman Mike Kennedy told Huckleberries moments ago that he definitely will seek re-election to a second term on the Coeur d’Alene City Council. He’ll make the official announcement later this spring. Mike plans to launch his campaign efforts earlier than he did in 2005 when he didn’t announce until then incumbent Ben Wolfinger decided not to seek another term. “I’m enjoying the heck out of the job,” Mike said. “And I’m not done with what I want to do.” Mike’s top priority is to continue to work on the problem of homelessness in the community. Added Mike: “There’s too much good happening in the community. I don’t want to see it stopped by some of the folks who may run.” Huckleberries is trying to contact incumbents Deanna Goodlander and Woody McEvers to see if they plan to seek re-election.

Question: Which non-incumbent would you like to see run for Coeur d’Alene City Council?
