She’s Off to a Spectacular Start!
‘Staff error’ led to claim candidate is only Dem ever elected from north Idaho.
Paulette Jordan’s campaign says a “staff error” resulted in an email being sent out Wednesday claiming she is the “only Democrat ever elected” to the Legislature from north Idaho.
Jordan, who represented the 5th Legislative District from 2014 until she resigned last week, faces Boise businessman A.J. Balukoff in the May 15 gubernatorial primary.
The subject line of Wednesday’s email said, “Have we met yet?” It continues, “My name is Paulette Jordan and I’m running to be your next governor. I’m an Idaho native. For the last four years, I’ve served in the state Legislature as the only Democrat ever elected to represent northern Idaho — something I am tremendously proud of.”
Democrats actually have a long and distinguished history of representing north Idaho, both in the House and Senate.
