Jordan brings fresh energy

Idaho voters have an outstanding opportunity to bring fresh energy, clear messaging and bipartisan collegiality to the Idaho Legislature by electing Paulette Jordan to represent District 5 in the Statehouse.

Jordan will be a strong voice for education and its vital role in our state’s economy. She holds three degrees from the University of Washington and a certificate in conflict resolution and strategic negotiation. She is grounded in the interests of the people who live in Latah and Benewah counties.

Her leadership roles in regional and national tribal organizations involve job creation and economic development. Jordan connects with people from all walks of life. She is a board member for Disability Action Center and a compassionate advocate for resources that help veterans, seniors and people with disabilities.

Jordan has made clear that although constituents may not agree with her on every issue, we can count on her to listen and will always know where she stands. She is acutely aware that the job of a legislator requires showing up and making hard decisions. Unlike her opponent, Jordan will not be absent when the political pressure is on.

Please vote for Paulette Jordan, Idaho Legislature, District 5.
