OPINION: Hate lost
Brent Regan
We have the election results and all of the Kootenai County Republican Central Committee (KCRCC) Recommended Candidates won their races. KCRCC Recommended Candidates Leslie Duncan, Marc Eberlein, Bob Norris, Carl Bjerke and Elaine Price won their competitive races by wide margins. This is a repeat of the 2022 primary where all of the KCRCC Recommended Candidates won in Kootenai County.
How are these results possible? The KCRCC is made up of one person from each of the 73 precincts in the county. These Precinct Committeemen (PC) members are politically savvy and were elected by the Republicans in their precincts. It makes sense that they would have a good idea of how the Republican voters in their precincts would vote. When the KCRCC examines the candidates and then votes by secret ballot on who we should recommend we are actually conducting a poll of a representative cross section of the entire county. The result is a strong indicator of who will win.
