RRepub Director Stays Nonpartisan

In a roundup of Kootenai Hospital Board candidates by the Jeff Selle/Coeur d’Alene Press, candidate Jim Pierce makes the following statement:

im Pierce is no stranger to partisan politics, but he also knows when to set that aside. “This race is about qualifications, not ideology,” Pierce explained. He is running for a trustee’s position on the Kootenai Health board. “If I were running for state senator, that would be different, but this is a non-partisan race.” Pierce said he has made a conscious choice to keep his campaign non-partisan. “On the first draft of my campaign literature they printed ‘Republican,’ and I made them take it off,” he added.

The significance. Jim is a member of the Kootenai County Reagan Republicans Board of Directors. I appreciate that he decided to stay true to the nonpartisanship of this race rather than follow the Reagan Republicans leaders.

Question: I must confess that I’ve never voted in a Kootenai Hospital Board race. But I will this time. Do you have a good enough feel for the candidates to vote in this race?
