The Sandpoint Reader, Keokee, KRFY 88.5 FM and the Selkirk Association of Realtors are teaming up to present a candidates’ forum Tuesday, Oct. 19 for the upcoming Tuesday, Nov. 2 election.
The forum will take place at the Sandpoint library (1407 Cedar St.) from 5:30-8:30 p.m. on Oct. 19, with Dover candidates taking the portion from 5:30-6:20 p.m. and the Sandpoint and Lake Pend Oreille School District Zone 2 trustee race taking the remaining portion of the meeting from 6:30-8:30 p.m. There will also be a presentation on the 1% resort city local option tax for Sandpoint. Only candidates from contested races have been invited.
The forum will take place in person at the library with a maximum occupancy of 70 allowed. Those who would like to attend virtually, or who aren’t able to make it inside because of occupancy requirements, can watch and participate via Zoom. A Zoom link to the forum will be posted before the event on the Sandpoint Online and Sandpoint Reader Facebook pages. KRFY will also air the forum live on 88.5 FM.
Forum moderators will accept questions from those in attendance as well as those watching virtually. Each candidate will be given time for an opening statement, which will be followed by a question-and-answer period and closing statements from each candidate.
Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 2, with polling places open from 8 a.m.-8 p.m.
While we have you ...
... if you appreciate that access to the news, opinion, humor, entertainment and cultural reporting in the Sandpoint Reader is freely available in our print newspaper as well as here on our website, we have a favor to ask. The Reader is locally owned and free of the large corporate, big-money influence that affects so much of the media today. We're supported entirely by our valued advertisers and readers. We're committed to continued free access to our paper and our website here with NO PAYWALL - period. But of course, it does cost money to produce the Reader. If you're a reader who appreciates the value of an independent, local news source, we hope you'll consider a voluntary contribution. You can help support the Reader for as little as $1.
