From Clark Fork to Priest River, there is a no shortage of key school board, city council and mayoral races on the ballot today.
Among them are contested races for Sandpoint's mayoral seat and three council seats, a contested Dover council election, and contested races in both the Lake Pend Oreille and West Bonner County school boards.
To help you decide how to fill out your ballot in the upcoming city and school board elections on Nov. 7, the Bonner County Daily asked candidates in those races to participate in this Voter Guide.
We posed the same questions to all candidates in each race, asking them to answer each question in no more than 100 words.
