Repubs Host Commish Debates Tonight

The six Republican candidate for two Kootenai County commissioner seats will meet for a debate at 6:30 tonight at Lake City Senior Center, sponsored by the Kootenai County Reagan Republicans and the North Idaho Pachyderm Club. In a press release, Reagan Republicans’ president Jeff Ward noted that candidates have submitted questions for their opponents and will get a chance to rebut their answers. Ward said this is the first event jointly sponsored by the two local Repub groups although the Reagan Republicans hosted a contentious 2009 Coeur d’Alene City Council debate, ” which was boycotted by Councilman Mike Kennedy , and resulted in the controversial endorsements and active support by the Reagan Republicans of Steve Adams, Jim Brannon, and Dan Gookin in the November election.” More here .

Question (to Dems): Are you tempted to cross over to vote in the GOPrimary for commissioner because the winner will also win the general election by default because there’s no Dem candidate?
