If our (Wo)Man on the Street interviews are any indication, many Sandpoint candidates could probably use a primer on mayoral candidates. If so, you’re in luck. The Sandpoint Reader and Sandpoint Online are teaming up to host a candidate forum Wednesday, Oct. 28, from 5:30-7:30 p.m. at Sandpoint Community Hall.

The evening will provide an ideal opportunity to learn the positions of mayoral candidates Mose Dunkel and Shelby Rognstad. Although they’re running unopposed, incumbent council members Bill Aitken, Thomas Eddy and Deb Fragoso will also be present to address the issues and their qualifications. Finally, Sandpoint Mayor Carrie Logan and Parks and Recreation Director Kim Woodruff will give a presentation on the proposed 1 percent sales tax to rebuild the Barlow Stadium grandstands at Memorial Field.

Come prepared, because the candidates will have to answer questions from the audience. To email a question, go to Sandpoint Online’s Election Central, direct link www.SandpointElections.com, and click the “submit a question” link.
