Candidates, voters get cozy
COEUR d’ALENE — Candidates for county office and state legislative districts across Kootenai County gathered for a unique experience Monday night. The Kootenai County League of Women Voters’ “Candidating” event pitted voters and candidates in a speed-dating environment that the two groups thoroughly enjoyed. The LWV President Bonnie Douglas said the first-time event was conceived as a remedy for problems at previous events, at which some candidates wouldn’t show up and participating candidates would be deprived the chance to talk.
