Dems rallying for CdA July 4 parade

There’s Dems here too.

Democratic governor candidate Keith Allred issued a press release Thursday asking the local blue to show its support during the Fourth of July Parade in Coeur d’Alene on Sunday.

“This is our biggest venue for our party and candidates to be seen,” it said. “Remember, this is an election year!”

North Idaho, many know, is mostly red. But the press release said that’s no reason not to march. In fact, it said this could be a year moderate reds switch sides, as the Republican Party’s current platform is pushing them away.

Participants are encouraged to show up at the northeast corner of 17th Street and Sherman Avenue. The parade starts at 11 a.m.
