Green, Tondee Look To Future

Still recovering from the wee hour watch of Tuesday's primary results, candidates in Kootenai County were reflecting on the races and planning their next moves on Wednesday. Encouraged by his strong Republican primary win, county Commissioner Dan Green said he hopes to take on the next four years helping the county government transition into possible structure and campus changes. "I feel very flattered," Green said of his victory over two challengers with 5,517 votes, 45 percent of the votes, which will leave him unopposed for the District 3 seat in November. "I look forward to continuing to serve the citizens of Kootenai County." A priority will be helping with the restructure of county government, he said, if voters approve the county's November ballot initiative to do so/Alecia Warren & Tom Hasslinger, Coeur d'Alene Press.

Question: Am I the only one impressed that uberconservative gadfly Larry Spencer received almost 4000 votes?
