The Emerson-Garfield Neighborhood is hosting a candidate forum at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday for the county commissioner race and 3rd District legislative races. Sponsors say they have all the candidates confirmed for the forum at the Corbin Senior Center, 827 W. Cleveland.

Commissioner’s race features three Republicans — Al French, Jeff Holy and Steve Salvatori — looking to replace Democrat Bonnie Mager, a first-term incumbnet.

There are two Lege races: An open House seat features three Democrats — Louise Chadez, Andy Billig and Bob Apple — plus Republican Dave White. House Position 2 has incumbent Democrat Timm Ormsby facing Republican Morgan Oyler and independent Hector Martinet.

And lest we forget, the League of Women Voters candidate forum starts at 5 p.m. today at Spokane City Hall, in the council chambers. For full details on this, click here to go to the previous post.
