Rick Barnes, 45, a local rancher and former miner with Trapper Mine, Tuesday announced his bid Tuesday for the commission seat currently occupied by incumbent Republican Audrey Danner.

"I think the people need more choices," Barnes said. "I've been trying to get local matters fixed from the outside with no avail. I figure it will be a better outcome if I try to fix it from the inside out."

Barnes is the third District 2 candidate, joining Danner and Chuck Grobe, a former Hayden mayor.
