The Bonner County Republican Central Committee is pleased to announce its endorsement of three Sandpoint candidates: Ken Lawrence for mayor, and Shannon Mitchell and Jacque Guinan for city council.

Even though these are non-partisan positions, the BCRCC feels strongly that these races are important for these reasons: small business owners and residents need a city government that will work to reduce over regulation, excessive fees, wasteful spending that places their concerns over the special interests of tourists. The committee solidified its support by making a donation to each of these campaigns.

There are elections in each city, as well as fire and school districts for various positions. We urge you to learn about your candidates and vote. Early voting at the County Elections Office runs from Oct. 15 through Nov. 1. The polls will be open 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Nov. 5, 2019.
