Republican Paul Amador prepares to be introduced prior to the debate today at the Kootenai County Democratic Club luncheon at the Iron Horse. Unlike other Republican candidates in contested races, Amador had the courage to enter the "lions den" and debate Democrat Tom Hearn, Amador's challenger in the House District 4B race. Amador's wife, Julie, waits with him. (Duane Rasmussen has provided a series of photographs from the debate. You can see them by clicking on the arrows above.)
