Bonners Ferry Mayor Dave Anderson is going to
face challenge, and two city council positions
in both Bonners Ferry and Moyie Springs are
going to challenged when city voters go to the
polls November 8.
There are no county offices on the ballot, and
no one challenging either of two fire district
chairs, so November 8 in Boundary County is
going to be strictly a municpal affair.
In the City of Bonners Ferry, incumbent mayor
Dave Anderson is being challenged by Stephen
Galbraith.
The City Council has two incumbents, Chris Clark
and Connie Wells, facing off against two
challengers; Police Chief Rick Alonzo and former
city councilman Dave Gray.
There are also two positions for council
positions open in Moyie Springs; but only one
incumbent; council member Geoff Hollenbeck has
not jumped into the running.
Incumbent Terry Johnson faces challenges from
Rosanne Smith, Bart Klaus, and Doug Reoch.
In municipal elections, the candidate getting
the most votes wins; when there are two
positions available, the top two candidates win.
There is no head-to-head for a particular seat.
As there were no challenged positions on fire
boards, those incumbents will retain their
positions and no election will be held.
Election for the city positions take place from
8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday, November 8, with
Bonners Ferry City residents voting according to
precinct; Valley View precinct at Valley View
Elementary, Kootenai, Bonners Ferry and North
Bonners Ferry voters casting their ballots at
the Fairgrounds Memorial Hall.
As all of Moyie Springs lies within the Moyie
Springs precinct, eligible voters there will
cast their ballots at Moyie Springs City Hall.
Boundary County will be overseeing the election
and tallying the results, and results will be
posted as they become available on the county
website,
www.boundarycountyid.org.
