Meet candidates at upcoming Candidate's Forum |
|
September 26, 2014 |
In just 39 days from today, Boundary County
residents will be voting in Election 2014 on
November 4.
Local voters have a great opportunity coming up
to meet with candidates and to personally submit
questions and issues of concern at a Candidate
Forum scheduled for Tuesday, October 7.
Area residents Rick Braun and Len Pine are
organizing the Forum. They have invited all
candidates for Idaho State Senate District 1,
the Idaho House of Representatives District 1,
and candidates for Boundary County Commissioners
to attend and answer questions from voters. Mr.
Braun and Mr. Pine indicate they are not
affiliated with any political group or
organization, and that they are funding this
event themselves.
"We conducted a forum like this for the Primary
Election in 2012," said Mr. Braun. "We started
with this idea because nobody was doing it,
particularly with questions and comments
directly from members of the audience."
To date, the following candidates have responded
that they will participate in the Forum:
--Christian Fioravanti, Constitution Party
candidate for Idaho State Senate District 1
--Heather Scott, Republican candidate for Idaho
State House of Representatives Seat 1A
--Sage Dixon, Republican candidate for Idaho
State House of Representatives Seat 1B
--LeAlan Pinkerton, Republican candidate for
Boundary County Commissioner District 1
--Ron Smith, Independent candidate for Boundary
County Commissioner District 1
--Terry Capurso, Independent candidate for
Boundary County Commissioner District 2
--Tim Tucker, Democratic candidate for Boundary
Couinty Commissioner District 2
It is very possible other candidates will also
be present and participating in this Forum; Mr.
Braun states the deadline for candidates to
accept the invitation to participate is
September 30. After that date, the list of
participating candidates will be finalized.
NewsBF will publish that complete list of
participants prior to the program.
At the Forum, each candidate will be allotted
time for a brief presentation, followed by a
question and answer period, with questions
coming from audience members. Audience members
will be allowed to ask any questions they wish
of the candidates. Organizers of the event say
there will be no pre-screening of questions.
Importantly, refreshments will be available,
including coffee, soft drinks, and bottled
water.
The October 7 candidate forum will take place at
the Kootenai River Inn. The event will begin at
6:00 p.m., and run until 9:00 p.m. Doors will
open for admission at 5:00 p.m.
For questions or additional information on this
event, or if you are a candidate who wishes to
participate, contact Rick Braun at 208-267-7514.
