Idaho Superintendent candidate to visit Sandpoint Saturday

SANDPOINT — The Bonner County Democratic Central Committee will be hosting Dr. Becky Sundin Mitchell, the Democratic candidate for Idaho Superintendent of Public Instruction, for a public meet-and-greet on Saturday, April 25, at Marigold Bistro.

All are encouraged to attend the afternoon event, especially teachers, to hear why Sundin is running and ask her questions. Sundin was named Idaho Teacher of the Year in 2018 and has been working in education for more than two decades.  

“I’ve seen the best of what Idaho public education can offer, and I’ve seen what happens when politics get in the way of serving students,” Sundin said. “Instead of distractions and rapid rule changes, we should be using data to improve instruction, funding schools responsibly and building schools where every student is prepared for college, careers and the future.” 

The event is set to run from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. at Marigold Bistro, 414 Church St., on Saturday. More information on Sundin can be found at becky4idaho.com.
