Chenoweth Foe Back On Trail

Republican 1st District congressional hopeful William Levinger of Nampa has returned to the campaign trail after suffering a mental breakdown at a Boise television station.

Levinger, 40, has not made any public appearances since the April 16 taping of “Viewpoint” on KTVB-TV.

He was released from St. Alphonsus Regional Medical Center Saturday and plans to continue the race against incumbent Republican Helen Chenoweth.

“I plan to run to keep the issues of responsibility in Washington in the minds of voters,” he said, adding that he did not want to discuss his breakdown or his hospital stay. “And I will begin traveling the state to get a sense of my district.”
