Just watched this interview with Whitehead and I like what I hear. He said that the bump stock ban is "null and void" here since the president can't make law.

Whitehead and Norris are both new to the area <10yrs,  worried about them trying to change our ways here.

Was thinking about Grimm but I think he quit the race,

eta, Looks like John Grimm is still in.

eta, again,

Kim's a dem ..  Oops  I may be wrong here, March 2020 CDA press has her listed as Republican

Dems are backing her at this time.

We heard Whitehead speak and lead a town hall meeting in Athol a couple weeks ago. I liked what he said.
My only concern with him is he comes from Austin TX.
He said he spent something like 30ish years there as LEO.

Austin TX is like Berkeley in CA. You don’t get anymore liberal.

Isn’t there some home grown Idaho candidate?

I’m in Bonner but know that whatever happens in Kooteni will infect us.

I have a buddy who was state police and lived in Austin, and they don't come much more conservative than him.

I was under the impression that Whitehead left Austin 10-15 years ago. I'm not sold on any candidate, just giving him the benefit of the doubt.

John Grimm is the closest to a Idaho Candidate I see.

Kim has had some questionable issues occur during her time in the office, jail and as detective.

He was in Oregon between Austin and now, as well, and it sounded like that ended sourly, too.

I'm supporting Whitehead. I think he checks all the boxes as far as what he's been saying with regard to constitution and being conservative.

As far as him being from Austin, I'd say in most cases, refugees from behind enemy lines tend to be some of the most conservative around here.

He also said he'd like if everyone carried.

Anyone have any links to stuff other candidates have said on the subject?

This is the thing that I like least about him...

Went to his anti-refugee thing in Post Falls. It was a good town hall.

When the sheriff says that he isn’t thinking like you are about the subject.
He’s okay with you shooting someone and then arresting you.....

A rebuttal by the actual deputies who work with and around Kim Edmondson

Whitehead and Grimm are backing Mike Bauer now.

Kim has aligned herself with Norris.

Norris seems to have inside help
Link Posted: 6/26/2020 5:30:07 AM EDT

I only ever saw signs for Edmondson and Norris. Norris had some sheriff's deputy association pulling for him. I never saw any adverts for Grimm other than the vinyl on your truck, and only one for Whitehead up in Hayden.

Edmondson was running full page ads in the paper. I don't know much about Bauer, but at least Norris claims to be against the detention relocation BS

ETA - are you going to the range on Sunday?
Link Posted: 6/26/2020 11:15:00 AM EDT

Here is info on Bauer,

https://www.mikebauerforsheriff.com/meet-mike

He was holding out in case Norris got the primary for the R ticket.  Running unaffiliated.
Now he'll run, should start seeing signs of it soon.


I should be out Sunday morn


eta,  posted on wrong one

From Bauer's site, which is pretty convoluted: 'We live in the Mountain West, which has a territorial history of vigilantism as an expedient solution to crime and undesirable persons. Unfortunately that form of "public justice" is wholly unconstitutional and morally repugnant. We strive for a "rule of law".'

and

"I will not however permit the enforcement of laws I find unconstitutional such as Second Amendment encroachment without underlying Idaho State law in concurrence."

The underlined is especially unsettling to me. It reads to me that he would be okay trampling my rights as long as the state says it's okay.

Both of them bother me

Corruption issues with Norris and his lot, a lot CYA statement wise with
Bauer. Bauer's age, 70 could be a issue too. Saw him speak last week
and he is no showman that's for sure

I don't think either are best for Kootenai County. We will be stuck with one of them
