Candidates Questions

To help voters make up their minds in the 2022 Primary Election, the Bonner County Daily Bee asked candidates in contested races a series of questions on why they are running, what they feel are the most important issues in their respective races and what they would accomplish if elected.

Below are the questions each of the candidates were asked and, in the pages that follow, the responses by all of the candidates.
