Jordan steps down to focus on governor's race |
February 7, 2018 |
Representative Paulette Jordan announced today
that she is officially stepping down from her
District 5 legislative seat to concentrate on
running for governor full-time.
“It has been my privilege to be elected by and
to serve the people of the fifth district since
2014,” said Jordan. “My priority is my
constituents and the people of Idaho. I cannot
fairly serve my constituents and run for
governor, therefore I am stepping down from my
legislative seat. This is necessary to win the
Democratic primary and to move toward victory in
November. I’m all in for Idaho.”
Governor Otter will appoint a Democratic
replacement who will serve for the remainder of
Jordan’s term which ends November 2018.
Jordan was elected in 2014 and reelected in 2016
to the District 5 House Seat A. As a
representative she served on the House
Environment, Energy & Technology, Resources &
Conservation and State Affairs committees.
Jordan’s campaign for governor is focused on
creating a future for children and families to
grow and prosper—a future where all Idahoans
receive a high quality public school education,
have access to affordable healthcare and livable
wages for families who want to enjoy the beauty
Idaho has to offer, without the constant fear of
how to make ends meet.
An essential part of
Jordan’s platform is to revitalize Idaho’s main
streets and fix government to make it better,
more efficient and more effective for all
Idahoans.
Jordan announced her intention to run for
governor on December 7, 2017. If elected, she
will be the first Native American governor in
the country and the first woman elected governor
in Idaho. |
