By Reader Staff

Legislative Dist. 1 Sen. Jim Woodward, R-Sagle, and 1A Rep. Mark Sauter, R-Sandpoint, will host their third in a series of legislative updates and town halls in Bonner and Boundary counties, with three events planned for Saturday, March 28. This time, however, they will be joined by Idaho Superintendent of Public Instruction Debbie Critchfield.

First, from 9-10:30 a.m., the lawmakers and superintendent will gather with constituents at the Boundary County Fairgrounds Valley Event Center (6567 Recreation Park Road, in Bonners Ferry), followed by noon-1:30 p.m. at the Sandpoint Community Hall (204 S. First Ave.) and from 3-4:30 p.m. at the West Bonner Library (118 Main St., in Priest River).

The Sandpoint event will be broadcast live by KRFY 88.5 FM and later made available at krfy.org.

The first town hall series took place Jan. 31 and the second on Feb. 28. The March 28 event will likely be the last before the 2026 Idaho Legislature adjourns for its annual session.

“Please join us for an update and, more importantly, to provide your thoughts and feedback,” Woodward stated in a newsletter. “I hope to see you there.”
