Quist, Powers will square off in primary
Two Democrats will square off in the June primary to represent House District 3. The District isn’t the one voters are used to, either. Rather than encompassing Columbia Falls and the Canyon, it now extends west to Whitefish and includes the neighborhoods in Whitefish and Columbia Falls north of the railroad tracks all the way to the Canada line, including the North Fork Community.
The Canyon is now in House District 5 and Columbia Falls city proper along with most of Whitefish, is in House District 4.
In the primary Debo Powers will square off against Guthrie Quist. When asked what separates her from Quist, Powers she lives in the district and Quist doesn’t.
