Want to learn more about the candidates running for local and state offices? You’re in luck.
The Sandpoint Reader and SandpointOnline.com will be co-presenting a candidate forum on Wednesday, Nov. 2 at 5:30 p.m. The forum will take place at the Sandpoint High School auditorium, 410 S. Division Ave.
We have invited all of the candidates running for state offices, including Shawn Keough, Steve Tanner, Ken Meyers, Carl Crabtree, Heather Scott, Kate McAlister, Sage Dixon, Stephen Howlett and Jessica Chilcott. We have also invited Daryl Wheeler and his write-in opponent Terry Ford in the Bonner County Sheriff’s race. Most candidates have confirmed they will appear, though we are still waiting on confirmation for several.
The forum is free to attend and open to all interested in knowing how your local candidates stand on the issues that face North Idaho today. You can also stream video live at SandpointOnline.com and listen live on 88.5 FM KRFY Panhandle Community Radio, or listen online at www.krfy.org.
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.
You can contribute at either Paypal or Patreon.
