Dems Provide ‘Real Democrat’ List

Kootenai County Democrats have produced a list of "real Democrats" for their partisans to support in local election this month, including names for the important precinct committee member positions. As you know, uber-conservative Larry Spencer ignited a fire among local Democrats when he decided to run for county assessor as a Democrat and then fielded several other similar-minded conservatives to run for Demcoratic precinct committee positions, in a possible move to take over the local party. The Democrats identified the "real Democrat" running for county assessor as write-in candidate Shirley McFaddan, ignoring Spencer's candidacy. The precinct races on the Democratic side feature 38 write-in candidates. You can read the list of real Democrats running for office and committee position here.
