Post Falls Mayor To Seek Re-election

Post Falls Mayor Clay Larkin announced he’ll seek a fourth term in November. “I know it’s way early, but people have been asking me to consider running again and I have no problem with telling people now,” Larkin said Monday. Larkin was appointed mayor more than 12 years ago to fill Gus Johnson’s seat when Johnson became a Kootenai County commissioner. He has been elected three times to the four-year, part-time position. Larkin, 77, was slowed with a medical issue this winter, but has recovered. “I got on it early, had a pacemaker put in the day after Christmas and I’m feeling really good now,” he said/ Brian Walker , Coeur d’Alene Press.
