To read the full text of this article online, click here: /articles/article/county_commission_race_gets_crowded16598/ ARTICLE EXCERPT: In Flathead County, the board of commissioners acts as both the executive and legislative branches of government. Most decisions on county policy fall within their purview, especially those involving county money or land development. This year, the District 2 seat, currently held by Democrat Joe Brenneman, is up for grabs and has already caused a flurry of political action. As of press time on March 15, the deadline to file for public office, the five candidates are incumbent Brenneman, Republican former County Commissioner Howard Gipe, Evergreen business owner and Republican Pam Holmquist, Democrat Noel Gorton of Creston and Republican Patrick Nickol.
