Kootenai primary has big GOP field

Six Republicans will face off for two Kootenai County commission positions in the May 25 primary. The races are winner-takes-all because no candidates from other parties filed by Friday’s deadline.

In addition, three Republicans will compete to become the next coroner, following the retirement of Dr. Robert West, who has held the position for 26 years.

Whoever wins that race will face Chief Deputy Coroner Jody DeLuca Hissong, a Democrat and nurse who has worked with the coroner for 28 years. DeLuca Hissong is uncontested in the Democratic primary. Full story. Alison Boggs, Spokesman Review
