OPINION: Forward together

by EVAN KOCH and SARAH MARTIN/Guest Opinion
| June 18, 2025 1:00 AM

On June 10, the Kootenai County Democrats officially opened a new chapter in North Idaho’s political history. Longtime party Chair Evan Koch stepped away from the chairperson role, and civic leader Sarah Martin stepped into it, with Adam Bennett serving as Vice-Chair. 

With the leadership change comes a new name on the weekly CDA Press opinion pages. Although one person’s name will be on the byline, we are proud to say that these columns continue to represent something bigger. The voices of local Democratic voters are what fuel the ideas for these columns — not the insulated perspectives of one Chairperson.
