Graves To Challenge Edinger

It looks like we’re going to have contested races for all three Coeur d’Alene City Council seats. Adams Graves, the Downtown Association treasurer, just told Hucks Online that he’s filing for incumbent Ron Edinger’s council seat. Edinger plans to seek re-election. With filing deadline set for 5 p.m. Friday, other races shape up like this: Dan Gookin and George Sayler will vie for the seat now held by Councilman Al Hassell, who isn’t seeking re-election. And incumbent John Bruning will square off with Reagan Republican board member Steve Adams and newcomer Amber Copeland.
