And Then There Were 5
A second candidate who filed for incumbent Todd Tondee's Kootenai County Commissioner District 1 seat will be removed from the ballot. Greg Wells has withdrawn his candidacy for the seat, according to the county clerk's office. Earlier this week, the clerk's office dropped Steven Peter Benner from the ballot after deciding that he lived in the wrong commissioner district. The five candidates remaining in the race are the incumbent, Greg Arno, Marc Eberlein, Tim Herzog and Bruce Noble. March 30 is the deadline to withdraw from any race in the 2012 primary election.
