State Rep. Bob Nonini, R-Coeur d'Alene, and GOP nominee Ron Mendive work the Post Falls Days Parade route. Both were candidates supported by the hard right United Conservatives of North Idaho. Running unopposed Nonini advanced to a general election contest for the state Senate seat vacated by Sen. Jim Hammond. Mendive edged Reagan Republican-backed Jeff Tyler in a race for Nonini's current House seat. (Jesse Tinsley SR photo)
