Response

Over the past several years, I’ve had the opportunity to listen to thousands of Idahoans throughout this great state. Above all, I’ve learned that our state needs new leadership. We need leaders who value people over politics.

In this election, the stakes have never been greater. Idahoans are fed up. People from all walks of life are frustrated with the partisan gridlock in Washington. They are hoping and calling for a leader who represents them and not the interest of the elite. I have decided to answer the call to serve and represent all of you to usher in a generation of new leadership.

We all watched as our current Senator, Jim Risch, embarrassed our state by falling asleep on the job during one of our nation’s most historic events. If Idahoans fell asleep at work, we would lose our jobs. This isn’t nap time. It’s time to get to work. Mr. Risch has spent 11 years in the Senate. We can’t afford to let him sleep away six more years.

As the next U.S. Senator from Idaho, I would provide leadership for every Idahoan. I will work to re-engineer our government to prioritize and protect American's right to vote, American prosperity and ensure everyone has clean water to drink, adequate healthcare, and a world-class, affordable education.

Tell Paulette E. Jordan thank you.
