No League Debate For Nelson, Hart
Judy Edwards, of the League of Women Voters, tells Huckleberries Online that it will sponsor several debates featuring 13 candidates at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday in the Coeur d'Alene Library Community Room. Debates include races between candidates for County Clerk (Dan English & Cliff Hayes); Coroner (Jody DeLuca Hissong & Deb Wilkie), Senate District 4 (John Goedde, Jeremy Boggess, & Ray Writz), House District 4A (Marge Chadderdon & Mike Bullard); House District 4B (Paula Marano & Kathleen Sims); and House District 5A (David Larsen & Bob Nonini). The League has a policy not to schedule debates involving write-in candidates, including the one between Jai Nelson & write-in candidate Rick Currie, and the one between Phil Hart & write-in candidate Howard Griffiths.
Question: Did the League of Women Voters miss the boat by not providing a candidate debate for two of the three most interesting races in the county this year?
