Retiring Rep. Frank Henderson, R-Post Falls, has endorsed Avista Corp. official Greg Gfeller for the seat Henderson will be vacating next year, as Gfeller heads into a hotly contested three-way GOP primary race. “I was looking for someone with a business background, because jobs are such a major issue in Kootenai County and we need to expand the economy and the tax base,” said Henderson, 91. Gfeller – pronounced gee-feller – faces Jeff Ward, president of the Reagan Republicans group, and Don Cheatham, a retired former longtime Los Angeles police officer, in the District 3 GOP primary. No Democrat is running, so the Republican primary will determine the winner/Betsy Russell, Eye on Boise. More here.
Question: I wonder what Reagan Republican president Jeff Ward thinks about this endorsement?
