SANDPOINT — While his family is glad to have him home more, former Bonner County Commissioner Luke Omodt said he enjoyed serving the county's residents.

"Local politics is a rough and tumble sport. I greatly enjoyed the work of being a Bonner County commissioner," Omodt told the Daily Bee. "Elections have consequences and the voters made a decision for which my family is profoundly grateful; I'm coming around to it."

Omodt, who said he has returned to teaching, was defeated in the Republican primary by Ron Korn for the right to represent the party in the Nov. 5 general election. He advised Bonner County Clerk Michael Rosedale on Aug. 20 in a brief two-sentence letter that he would be stepping down from his county position early, with the resignation effective Sept. 7.
