Coeur d’Alene Police Endorse Foster

A little birdie in Independent Bob Foster's campaign for Kootenai County sheriff tells Huckleberries: "The Coeur d'Alene Police Officers Association voted unanimously to endorse Bob Foster for Kootenai County Sheriff.  The vote has been in the process for the past couple of weeks via the association's website where members voted online.  Voting ended June 30, at 17:00.   If you recall, the Lake City Employee's Association voted earlier in the year to endorse Bob, so now he has 2 of the 3 city groups supporting him.  All that remains is the Firefighters group and Bob has made a presentation to them." Foster is the code enforcement officer for the city of Coeur d'Alene. (Sgt. Christie Wood of the Coeur d'Alene Police Department has confirmed that the police association has endorsed Bob Foster.)

Question: Can Independent Bob Foster beat Republican nominee Mayor Ben Wolfinger in the sheriff's race?
