14 key Kootenai County Republicans have signed a letter to Central Committee Chairwoman Tina Jacobson objecting to the selection of former Arizona sheriff Richard Mack (pictured) as the Lincoln Day Dinner keynote speaker. Here's a sample of the text: "Mr. Mack has been presented to us as a former Sheriff and a Republican candidate for Congress.  Upon further research, it is quite evident that Mr. Mack’s support of the Republican Party and Republican Party candidates is inconsistent, intermittent and questionable.  He does not appear to have ever shared the common goal of promoting the Republican Party and our Republican candidates. In fact, Mr. Mack’s political history has shown a consistent opposition to the Republican Party and a strong affinity to other political parties, including the Democrat, Libertarian and Constitution Parties. Mr. Mack was elected twice as a Democrat to the office of county sheriff in Arizona and defeated for re-election as a Democrat in 1996." The letter was signed by Lori Gervais, chairwoman of the 3rd Legislative District & 13 precinct committeemen. Full letter here.
