Ladies and gentlemen, meet 17 candidates who want to represent you.

The 17 range from all three candidates for Kootenai County sheriff to competitors in contested legislative and congressional races. It's a brand new format for The Press in a year that called for things to be done differently.

Press Publisher Clint Schroeder conducted in-depth Zoom interviews with 17 candidates, including U.S. Sen. Jim Risch and the three men hoping to win the Congressional District 1 seat now held by Russ Fulcher.

To watch the interviews, go to cdapress.com, then click on the All Sections link. Go to 2020 Elections, Meet the Candidate. Interviews average about 15 minutes.

Still to come:

• More candidate interviews have been scheduled and will be added in the days ahead.

• Schroeder will be conducting Zoom town halls on four consecutive days, Oct. 5-8, which will also be posted on cdapress.com. Stay tuned for more details.

• This Sunday, The Press will publish the first of three voters' guides for the general election. The guide will be included in all copies of the Sunday Press and additional copies will be available for free at the newspaper's office, 215 N. Second St. in downtown Coeur d'Alene.
