Posted By Paul G March 12th, 2018 Blog



Paulette Jordan is a member of the Coeur d'Alene tribe in Idaho. She could become the first Native American governor in November.

From Wikipedia

Paulette Jordan was born into a ranching and farming family in northern Idaho. She is an enrolled citizen of the federally recognized Coeur d'Alene tribe, which is based on the reservation of the same name. She also has Sinkiuse (known as the Moses–Columbia Band of the Colville Confederacy), Nez Perce, and Yakama–Palus ancestry.[5]

Jordan attended Gonzaga Preparatory before going to the University of Washington, where she graduated. While in Seattle, she held a variety of leadership roles in community activism and became involved in local city politics, also serving as an Advisor to the President of the University.[6]

After returning to the reservation, Jordan ran for and was elected to the Tribal Council. From this position, she became the co-chair of gaming for the Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians (ATNI), an organization founded in 1953 so that tribes could act in concert on mutual interests.[5] She is also a Senior Executive Board representative, Finance Chair and Energy Initiative Chair for the National Indian Gaming Association, serving her third consecutive term.[6] She also owns timber and farmland in northern Idaho.

2. This is great news!

Can’t wait to see her win the governorship of our neighbor state to the west. Idaho could use a shake up.
