Pickford Won’t Attend Partisan Forum

Tambra Pickford, who is challenging incumbent Terri Seymour for the Coeur d’Alene School Board Trustee Zone 3 seat in May, told Huckleberries that she won’t attend the luncheon forum for the election sponsored by the Kootenai County Reagan Republicans in the coming weeks. “I didn’t throw my hat in the ring to get into political debates with people,” she said. Pickford said she was contacted once by a Reagan Republican representative. But she didn’t commit to the partisan debate. She said, however, that she plans to attend a debate sponsored by the Coeur d’Alene Education Partnership in May. The Reagan Republicans are hosting a series of luncheon forums for nonpartisan races that also include those for various highway districts.
