Nancy Harris: If we're not running, we're not defending democracy

It leaves ordinary people such as Harris -- a 70-year-old mother of four and grandmother of seven, to carry the torch for Democrats. "We cannot have a democracy without fielding candidates. If we are not fielding candidates, then we are not defending democracy." she said. "I may get chewed up and spit out, but when it's done, I will be the same person I am today. I may fall flat on my face, but that's still progress."

Paulette Jordan: Will stay awake and work on country's business

We all watched as Senator Jim Risch, embarrassed our state by falling asleep on the job during one of our nation's most historic events [President Trump's impeachment trial]. If Idahoans fell asleep at work, we would lose our jobs. This isn't nap time. It's time to get to work. I will work to re-engineer our government to prioritize fiscal conservatism, American prosperity and to ensure everyone has clean water to drink, adequate healthcare, and world-class, affordable education.

Paulette Jordan: We need a complete shift to people-first policymaking

When I talk about people-first policymaking, what I mean is that we need a complete shift to creating policy for the people. Our focus should not be on budget proposals that explode the federal deficit. We need to focus on people first. We need policy which focuses on the reasons our government was created: to create a society where we have safe roads, infrastructure, transportation, commerce, industry, energy and protection of our natural resources.

Paulette Jordan: Youngest person elected to the Coeur d'Alene Tribal Council

A proud member of the Coeur d'Alene Tribe, Paulette was raised to fight for her community and to protect the earth's priceless natural resources. Growing up on a north Idaho farm and learning from her elders about land cultivation and preservation, she developed a strong connection to Idaho's land and people. In 2008, after graduating from the University of Washington, Paulette returned home to Idaho and became the youngest person elected to the Coeur d'Alene Tribal Council.
