Want to learn more about the candidates running for local and state offices? You’re in luck.

The Sandpoint Reader and SandpointOnline.com will be co-presenting a candidate forum on Wednesday, Nov. 2 at 5:30 p.m. The forum will take place at the Sandpoint High School auditorium, 410 S. Division Ave.

We have invited all of the candidates running for state offices, including Shawn Keough, Steve Tanner, Ken Meyers, Carl Crabtree, Heather Scott, Kate McAlister, Sage Dixon, Stephen Howlett and Jessica Chilcott. We have also invited Daryl Wheeler and his write-in opponent Terry Ford in the Bonner County Sheriff’s race. Most candidates have confirmed they will appear, though we are still waiting on confirmation for several.

The forum is free to attend and open to all interested in knowing how your local candidates stand on the issues that face North Idaho today. You can also stream video live at SandpointOnline.com and listen live on 88.5 FM KRFY Panhandle Community Radio, or listen online at www.krfy.org.
