POULSBO — When it comes to reducing a budget by approximately $2.3 million, everything is on the table for discussion. For the North Kitsap School Board and superintendent, it

will comprise Whatcom, Skagit, Snohomish and part of King counties. Some candidates hope the short term will give them some seniority should they win the new 1st District seat. Four of the 11 candidates agreed to participate in a Q&A with the Herald. They tell what they expect to accomplish in one month, and why residents should care about this election. This week: Suzan DelBene and J. Byron Holcomb. Next week: Darshan Rauniyar and Laura Ruderman. You can read all four Q&As now on www. Nor thKitsapHerald. com. See Q&As, Page A9

NKSD mulls advertising to help shrink deficit By KIPP ROBERTSON

POULSBO — Wanted: Someone to serve as member of the U.S. House of Representatives from the 1st District in Washington state. Great pay and benefits. Length of employment: About one month. Eleven candidates are running to represent the current 1st Congressional District, completing the term vacated by Jay Inslee, who is running for governor. On Nov. 6, Kitsap County voters will also elect a new representative of the 6th District, in which we will live come January because of redistricting. The new representative from the old 1st District will serve until Jan. 3, when new House members take office and redistricting takes effect. Five candidates for the short term are also running to represent the new 1st District, which

may include allowing more advertising in schools and delaying the purchase of more defibrillators. The board will hold a special meeting Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. to continue the budget discussion. The meeting is open to the public. There will be no

public comment period. The possibility of increasing revenue from advertising was brought up during the regular meeting July 12. The possibility of increasing revenue from advertising was brought up during the regular See BUDGET, Page A3
