Bannock Democrats Welcome Dave Finkelnburg

daveDave Finkelnburg was picked Wednesday to be the new chairman of the Bannock County Democratic Party. He takes over the post from Catalina Steckbauer. She resigned because, she said, "I want to devote more time and energy to the Idaho Democratic Hispanic Caucus."

Louis Archuleta was also a candidate for the county party chair. Both candidates told the county Democratic Central Committee they would continue to support and work with the other regardless of which one was elected.

“I want to continue the great work Catalina Steckbauer has been doing to help the Bannock County Democratic Party realize its potential,” said Finkelnburg after being elected chairman. “There is a wonderful core group of party volunteers who helped me last year and continue to work hard for all of Bannock County. The Party chair is not a one-person job. I’ll be asking even more Democrats to pitch in, to help spread our message, turn out voters and win elections.”

Finkelnburg is a professional engineer who grew up in Pocatello and Chubbuck. He served on the Portneuf District Library and Portneuf Valley Farmers' Market boards of directors and also on the ISU Engineering Advisory Council. He is a past president of the Portneuf Valley Audubon Society. He is currently on the Idaho Museum of Natural Historey advisory board and is a member of the Pocatello Rotary club, where he is chairman of the "Rotary Helps" project to assist needy individuals in the area.
