Ask The Candidates: Questions Wanted

Wed., May 3, 2000

What issues should the candidates to represent North Idaho in Congress address during their campaigns?

U.S. Rep. Helen Chenoweth-Hage is retiring, and eight Republicans are vying in this month’s primary election for the chance to run for her seat. The winner will face a Democrat and two minor-party candidates in November.

The new member of Congress will help make decisions on key issues affecting North Idaho, from Highway 95 improvement to dam breaching. We’ll be asking the candidates for their positions on key issues during the campaign. Here’s your chance to suggest the issues you think should be addressed.
