Open CDA council seat attracts large field

Twenty-three people have submitted applications for Coeur d'Alene City Council Seat 3, which will be open in January.

They are: Peter Allen, Logan Anderson, John Austin, Paula J. Austin, Bill Brooks, Sam Brown, Jonathan H. Burns, Angela Chandler, Jeff Connaway, Tonya Coppedge, Daniel Diaz, Richard Fries, Cassy L. Glaser, Brett Jarnes, Nels Jensen, David Johnson, Rob Knutson, Dan Sheckler, Alan Rebeck, Brian Smith, Mickael Stevens, Peter Allen and Todd Tondee. 

From here, the City Council will review the candidates and narrow the field to the ones they would like to interview.

City Councilor Dan Gookin is vacating Seat 3 and moving into the mayor's office Jan. 6, following his election in the General Election in November.  

The person appointed will serve the remainder of the council term until Jan. 4, 2028.
