Sayler To Seek Hassell Council Seat

Updated w/Sayler's official announcement & biographical information below

Former four-term state representative George Sayler just called Hucks Online to say that he's running for the Coeur d'Alene City Council seat, being vacated by Councilman Al Hassell. Sayler, who served from 2002-2010 in the Idaho Legislature, said he has public service in his blood and wants to continue to serve Coeur d'Alene. He said he also wants to be a counterbalance to all the "ugly and divisive" political talk that has stained Coeur d'Alene politics in recent years. Sayler is a former long-time educator at Coeur d'Alene High. Dan Gookin, a Coeur d'Alene activist, is the only other person now seeking Hassell's spot.

Question: Can Sayler beat Gookin and the Reagan Republicans?
