Coeur d’Alene tribal member Paulette Jordan comes from a long line of ancestral leadership deeply connected to the land of Idaho. The single mother of two ran for Governor in 2018, winning the Democratic Primary by a landslide. A victory in November would have made her the first woman to serve as governor in the state — and would have marked the first time in U.S. history that a Native American has held the governorship of any state.
Despite a hard-hitting loss in the general election to a conservative Republican male opponent, Jordan’s groundbreaking bid for Governor represented a growing movement for Native people, people of color, and women fighting to have a voice and visibility in American politics. Forging ahead and staying true to her path as an Indigenous leader, Paulette Jordan is currently campaigning for a seat in the U.S. Senate and won Idaho’s Democratic primary in June 2020.
"Jordan battled gracefully throughout the campaign, activating a new kind of hope for the people of Idaho who now find themselves yearning for a new type of leadership."

(rhythmic Native American music)
00:00:28.430 --> 00:00:32.250
- I am a daughter of
the Coeur d\'Alene tribe
00:00:32.250 --> 00:00:34.223
of the Schitsu\'umsh people.
00:00:36.260 --> 00:00:38.013
I was raised on the land.
00:00:41.530 --> 00:00:44.983
My relatives are deeply
embedded in the soil.
00:00:46.720 --> 00:00:48.263
They cultivated the land.
00:00:49.710 --> 00:00:53.010
I would say that I\'m
3,000th generation Idahoan.
00:01:00.219 --> 00:01:02.386
I\'m indigenous to my core.

00:01:43.995 --> 00:01:45.121
- [Female Newscaster] Paulette Jordan
00:01:45.121 --> 00:01:47.143
wins Democratic primary
for Idaho\'s governor race.
00:01:47.143 --> 00:01:47.980
- [Male Newscaster] Jordan will face
00:01:47.980 --> 00:01:49.400
Republican candidate, Brad Little
00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:51.042
in the Idaho general election.
00:01:51.042 --> 00:01:52.320
- [Male Newscaster 2] This
is a state that broke hard
00:01:52.320 --> 00:01:53.280
for President Trump.
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:55.967
Hasn\'t voted for a Democrat
since Lyndon Johnson.
00:01:55.967 --> 00:01:56.910
- [Male Newscaster 3] Give
me a break, the nearest
00:01:56.910 --> 00:01:58.930
three decades stretch
of a Republican sitting
00:01:58.930 --> 00:01:59.763
in the Governor\'s chair.
00:01:59.763 --> 00:02:00.596
- [Male Newscaster 4] If
she were to be elected
00:02:00.596 --> 00:02:03.060
she would not only become the
state\'s first female governor,
00:02:03.060 --> 00:02:05.400
but also the country\'s
first Native American
00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:07.253
to serve as governor in any state.
00:02:09.570 --> 00:02:12.935
- We still have to get
to every voter in Idaho.
00:02:12.935 --> 00:02:13.900
(crowd cheering)
00:02:13.900 --> 00:02:16.030
Continue talking to our
friends, our relatives,
00:02:16.030 --> 00:02:18.840
our businesses, our ranchers, our farmers,
00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:21.660
every single individual
regardless of their faith,
00:02:21.660 --> 00:02:23.140
their age or their gender.
00:02:23.140 --> 00:02:23.973
- [Crowd] Yeah!
00:02:27.382 --> 00:02:29.554
- They are our relatives.
00:02:29.554 --> 00:02:31.542
We love them just as much.
00:02:31.542 --> 00:02:33.495
And when I am governor
I will represent them
00:02:33.495 --> 00:02:35.194
just the same as I represent you.
00:02:35.194 --> 00:02:37.944
(crowd cheering)
00:02:40.292 --> 00:02:41.375
So let\'s win!
00:02:42.306 --> 00:02:43.793
You win.
00:02:43.793 --> 00:02:44.626
Thank you.
00:02:44.626 --> 00:02:47.376

- Make sure you get one.
00:03:26.755 --> 00:03:29.913
Would you like a milk or chocolate milk?
00:03:29.913 --> 00:03:32.114
Both of them.
- Oh both?
00:03:32.114 --> 00:03:33.304
Yeah.
- You want this one too?
00:03:33.304 --> 00:03:34.637
Okay, thank you.
00:03:36.044 --> 00:03:37.427
- You have dark skin so I thought you were
00:03:37.427 --> 00:03:39.340
probably Filipino or Japanese.
00:03:39.340 --> 00:03:41.160
- Oh Indigenous, yeah.
00:03:41.160 --> 00:03:44.470
- Or Japanese or,
Kawasaki Ninja motorcycles
00:03:44.470 --> 00:03:45.700
run good, their fast.
00:03:45.700 --> 00:03:47.740
- Yeah, you were an old racer yourself?
00:03:47.740 --> 00:03:49.800
- Yeah, I got a lot of motors.
00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:51.810
Nice to meet you.
- You too.
00:03:51.810 --> 00:03:54.566
- She was on CNN the other day.
00:03:54.566 --> 00:03:55.399
- Oh really?
00:03:55.399 --> 00:03:59.636
- I\'ve been a Republican since
I was first able to vote.
00:03:59.636 --> 00:04:02.950
That\'s because my father was one.
00:04:02.950 --> 00:04:05.300
- Most people who vote
for me are not Democrat.
00:04:05.300 --> 00:04:08.300
Yeah, they\'re Republican
and Independent, yeah.
00:04:08.300 --> 00:04:11.980
- Sorry, I can\'t leave and vote Democrat.
00:04:11.980 --> 00:04:14.010
- I feel there\'s always
faults with both sides.
00:04:14.010 --> 00:04:16.670
And I\'m just about the people\'s voice.
00:04:16.670 --> 00:04:19.880
I want to rise above
all the party nonsense
00:04:19.880 --> 00:04:21.330
that I don\'t really care for.
00:04:22.350 --> 00:04:24.403
How are you guys feeling?
00:04:26.803 --> 00:04:27.636
- [Child] I don\'t know.
00:04:27.636 --> 00:04:28.930
- Not sure yet?
00:04:28.930 --> 00:04:31.740
- It would be better if I had my iPad.
00:04:31.740 --> 00:04:34.313
- Hmm, I\'ll work on that.
00:04:43.090 --> 00:04:44.180
Mom, are you here?
00:04:44.180 --> 00:04:45.013
- [Mom] I\'m here.
00:04:45.013 --> 00:04:50.013
- Okay, I\'m gonna ask you
to hold my purse for me.
00:04:50.280 --> 00:04:51.180
- [Mom] Okay.
00:04:51.180 --> 00:04:53.520
- [Female] It\'s time, we\'re being called.
00:04:53.520 --> 00:04:55.410
- I moved to Idaho 14 years ago.
00:04:55.410 --> 00:04:57.860
My question is what makes
someone a real Idahoan?
00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:02.440
- [Male] Ms. Jordan, the question\'s yours.
00:05:02.440 --> 00:05:03.640
- Thank you for the question, sir.
00:05:03.640 --> 00:05:05.270
I really appreciate that.
00:05:05.270 --> 00:05:07.300
When I was told that my opposition
00:05:07.300 --> 00:05:09.240
was a third generation Idahoan,
00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:10.970
I thought, well, we\'re all Idahoans.
00:05:10.970 --> 00:05:13.300
We all love Idaho, but
if it comes down to that,
00:05:13.300 --> 00:05:16.611
I have technically over
3000ths generations Idahoan.
00:05:16.611 --> 00:05:19.417
(crowd laughing)
00:05:19.417 --> 00:05:20.393
So it\'s simply just to point out
00:05:20.393 --> 00:05:22.490
that my heritage has stand in this land
00:05:22.490 --> 00:05:25.000
for thousands of years
and I\'m thankful for it.
00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:26.600
And this is why I fight for Idaho
00:05:26.600 --> 00:05:28.830
each and every day, thank you.
00:05:28.830 --> 00:05:30.430
- Chip, thanks for your service.
00:05:31.669 --> 00:05:34.586
(crowd chattering)
00:05:37.466 --> 00:05:38.905
- You got a like--
00:05:38.905 --> 00:05:41.572
(male laughing)
00:05:43.112 --> 00:05:46.310
(crowd chattering)
00:05:46.310 --> 00:05:47.839
- [Female] Come this way or--
00:05:47.839 --> 00:05:49.774
- [Male] Yeah, just have them turn around.
00:05:49.774 --> 00:05:52.320
- If you could take it
(music drowns out speaker).
00:05:52.320 --> 00:05:56.350
- I just like to see how everyone
was like here for my mom.
00:05:56.350 --> 00:05:58.730
And how everyone is just
like, excited to like see her,
00:05:58.730 --> 00:06:01.527
like listen to her.
00:06:01.527 --> 00:06:05.370
Her words are very
powerful and very strong
00:06:05.370 --> 00:06:07.430
and reaches out to the people.
00:06:07.430 --> 00:06:08.917
So I like that about her.
00:06:17.990 --> 00:06:20.240
- Please welcome to \"The Van
Jones Show,\" Paulette Jordan,
00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:22.790
the Democratic nominee
for governor of Idaho.
00:06:22.790 --> 00:06:24.990
You\'re out there bringing the
cowboys and Indians together.
00:06:24.990 --> 00:06:26.480
I\'ve never seen anything like it.
00:06:26.480 --> 00:06:28.640
Why do you think you have a shot to win
00:06:28.640 --> 00:06:30.010
in blood-red Idaho?
00:06:30.010 --> 00:06:31.930
- My progressive ideas matched
00:06:31.930 --> 00:06:34.600
with my conservative
architectural framework
00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:36.890
really attracts people on
both sides of the aisle.
00:06:36.890 --> 00:06:38.760
So they\'re seeing a kind of leadership
00:06:38.760 --> 00:06:40.570
that no one\'s ever seen or heard of.
00:06:40.570 --> 00:06:43.108
And we\'re bringing all parties together.
00:06:43.108 --> 00:06:46.525
(dramatic digital music)
00:06:50.340 --> 00:06:53.172
People keep asking me, once
election night is over,
00:06:53.172 --> 00:06:55.210
what are you going to do next?
00:06:55.210 --> 00:06:57.920
If you\'re not governor,
then what are you gonna do?
00:06:57.920 --> 00:07:01.969
And I think, well this
is it, this is the path.
00:07:01.969 --> 00:07:03.057
Paulette.
- Hey.
00:07:03.057 --> 00:07:05.057
- Good to see you again.
00:07:06.493 --> 00:07:09.613
- When people thought, \"why
is she running for Governor?\"
00:07:09.613 --> 00:07:13.960
Simple, there are a lot of
people who are not doing well.
00:07:13.960 --> 00:07:17.670
We have taken from the poor
to give to the very rich.
00:07:17.670 --> 00:07:19.130
We\'re not wealthy millionaires.
00:07:19.130 --> 00:07:21.160
We\'re not bought by corporations
00:07:21.160 --> 00:07:23.420
and we\'re not leaning to
special interest groups.
00:07:23.420 --> 00:07:24.892
Thank you all for coming out tonight.
00:07:24.892 --> 00:07:28.300
(crowd cheering)
00:07:28.300 --> 00:07:30.300
I always ask myself, how is
00:07:30.300 --> 00:07:33.320
this serving the family
values that we talk about?
00:07:33.320 --> 00:07:35.100
How are we walking our talk?
00:07:35.100 --> 00:07:37.110
Because this is a bunch of hypocrisy.
00:07:37.110 --> 00:07:39.950
If we\'re not serving our
people and allowing them to not
00:07:39.950 --> 00:07:43.720
only prosper and have this
right to raise their children,
00:07:43.720 --> 00:07:46.360
but give them that opportunity
to prosper as well.
00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:47.830
- Oh my God, she\'s a bad ass.
00:07:47.830 --> 00:07:48.790
She\'s a superhero.
00:07:48.790 --> 00:07:51.855
So now Paulette, join me.
00:07:51.855 --> 00:07:52.688
(crowd cheering)
00:07:52.688 --> 00:07:54.610
- We talk about how we
have a record economy.
00:07:54.610 --> 00:07:56.090
How is it that we have a record economy
00:07:56.090 --> 00:07:59.220
when we are 50th when it
comes down to a livable wage.
00:07:59.220 --> 00:08:01.450
Let\'s not continue to mislead Idahoans.
00:08:01.450 --> 00:08:02.520
They need the truth.
00:08:02.520 --> 00:08:04.600
The highlight of today was when I met
00:08:04.600 --> 00:08:07.937
this Brad Little supporter
and he came up to me and said,
00:08:07.937 --> 00:08:11.200
\"I came here to support your opposition.
00:08:11.200 --> 00:08:13.467
And I\'m leaving here supporting you.\"
00:08:14.310 --> 00:08:15.820
I am calling because it seems
00:08:15.820 --> 00:08:17.960
that you\'re a registered voter.
00:08:17.960 --> 00:08:19.167
And I just wanted to let you know
00:08:19.167 --> 00:08:21.132
about your local polling places.
00:08:21.132 --> 00:08:23.242
No one would have thought that
we would have gotten this far.
00:08:23.242 --> 00:08:26.159
No one imagined an Idaho like this.
00:08:27.071 --> 00:08:30.349
(crowd cheering)
00:08:30.349 --> 00:08:31.340
- [Male Newscaster] The Democratic party
00:08:31.340 --> 00:08:33.470
has a real bad habit right now
00:08:33.470 --> 00:08:37.773
on running candidates based
on their ethnicity and gender.
00:08:41.300 --> 00:08:45.580
- [Male] We fear change, sometimes
it takes a bit of bravery
00:08:45.580 --> 00:08:47.807
actually to just cast a vote to say,
00:08:47.807 --> 00:08:51.580
\"Yes, my voice says,
yes, I want this change.\"
00:08:51.580 --> 00:08:54.640
That\'s that, power is power
00:08:54.640 --> 00:08:57.343
and power is usually old and white male.
00:08:59.583 --> 00:09:00.543
- I have a question.
00:09:00.543 --> 00:09:01.500
One of the things I\'ve seen in the news is
00:09:01.500 --> 00:09:04.520
that people are criticizing
the campaign\'s organization
00:09:04.520 --> 00:09:06.070
and et cetera.
00:09:06.070 --> 00:09:09.040
And \"Oh, she can\'t do that,
she can\'t be governor.\"
00:09:09.040 --> 00:09:12.460
So if you just respond to that.
00:09:12.460 --> 00:09:14.240
- Yes they often said, because I\'m a woman
00:09:14.240 --> 00:09:15.073
I should not be governor.
00:09:15.073 --> 00:09:17.150
Or because I\'m young, I
should not be governor.
00:09:17.150 --> 00:09:18.930
Or women of color should not be governor.
00:09:18.930 --> 00:09:22.067
The fact that I\'m even from
Idaho, I should not be governor.
00:09:22.067 --> 00:09:22.900
(crowd laughing)
00:09:22.900 --> 00:09:24.650
So I\'ve heard it all.
00:09:25.981 --> 00:09:29.314
(Native American music)
00:09:35.504 --> 00:09:38.254
(rain pattering)
00:09:42.553 --> 00:09:44.190
A white buffalo.
00:09:44.190 --> 00:09:45.923
A woman, it\'s a very nice gift.
00:09:47.460 --> 00:09:49.853
It extends itself to be
part of the prophecy.
00:09:50.800 --> 00:09:52.300
That\'s why it its so symbolic.
00:09:55.087 --> 00:09:56.263
It\'s a good reminder.
00:10:04.230 --> 00:10:08.810
I always imagined myself being so strong
00:10:10.060 --> 00:10:13.670
and in the campaign you
can get to be very lonely.
00:10:13.670 --> 00:10:14.763
It\'s very isolating.
00:10:18.260 --> 00:10:19.723
That is my life.
00:10:21.530 --> 00:10:23.430
It\'s always been taking the hard road.
00:10:25.270 --> 00:10:27.053
Is this the right direction?
00:10:28.600 --> 00:10:29.903
Are we doing the right thing?
00:10:31.737 --> 00:10:34.270
Then my two boys come into the picture,
00:10:34.270 --> 00:10:36.310
everything clears up again.
00:10:36.310 --> 00:10:39.703
And I\'m reminded of my purpose.
00:10:50.767 --> 00:10:51.775
- [Newscaster] There\'s three seats there,
00:10:51.775 --> 00:10:55.703
two house seats in the Senate
that are kind of up for grabs.
00:10:55.703 --> 00:10:58.473
- I\'m worried about you too hon.
00:10:58.473 --> 00:11:00.473
It hurt so bad.
- I know.
00:11:02.659 --> 00:11:04.283
- Did you try to chew on the other side?
00:11:05.250 --> 00:11:06.799
- And Joe Harris
00:11:06.799 --> 00:11:08.020
at the Republican\'s
election party headquarters.
00:11:08.020 --> 00:11:09.548
- I got it out.
00:11:09.548 --> 00:11:10.531
- Did you pull it out?
00:11:10.531 --> 00:11:11.364
- Hm-hmm.
00:11:12.280 --> 00:11:13.904
- Where?
00:11:13.904 --> 00:11:16.495
(child indistinct mumbling)
00:11:16.495 --> 00:11:17.660
- Look at that.
00:11:17.660 --> 00:11:19.127
- Oh my God.
00:11:21.194 --> 00:11:24.277
(everyone laughing)
00:11:26.757 --> 00:11:28.217
- But the story of the
night is going to be,
00:11:28.217 --> 00:11:29.287
\"That women won?\"
00:11:30.270 --> 00:11:32.870
And Paulette Jordan shocks the world.
00:11:32.870 --> 00:11:34.540
That\'s my thought.
00:11:34.540 --> 00:11:38.563
We\'ll see, got a couple
of hours, all right.
00:11:44.950 --> 00:11:47.500
- [Auto Passenger] Come
on people, let\'s go.
00:11:47.500 --> 00:11:48.947
We got a race to win.
00:11:52.390 --> 00:11:53.973
Look at our escort, yeah.
00:11:55.440 --> 00:11:58.857
(melancholy piano music)
00:12:25.108 --> 00:12:26.360
- [Paulette] You guys,
unfortunately I think we have
00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:27.650
to make this call.
00:12:27.650 --> 00:12:29.780
- Hey Zack, this is me. Kevin calling.
00:12:32.879 --> 00:12:33.712
Yes.
00:12:38.635 --> 00:12:40.218
- Hi, is this Brad?
00:12:41.570 --> 00:12:42.683
How are you doing sir?
00:12:46.373 --> 00:12:47.975
I\'m doing pretty good.
00:12:47.975 --> 00:12:49.961
I thought I would just call
you to congratulate you
00:12:49.961 --> 00:12:52.470
and thank you for the good race.
00:12:52.470 --> 00:12:53.330
Wish you well.
00:12:57.180 --> 00:13:00.970
My elders tell me that your
education, your knowledge,
00:13:00.970 --> 00:13:04.083
that we give you, all of
this belongs to the people.
00:13:06.280 --> 00:13:08.223
It is upon me to step up and lead.
00:13:09.800 --> 00:13:11.400
This is what I was raised to do.
00:13:12.897 --> 00:13:15.647
(crowd cheering)
00:13:16.750 --> 00:13:20.163
This campaign is not a career for me.
00:13:24.150 --> 00:13:27.220
This is about my ultimate
purpose in this life,
00:13:27.220 --> 00:13:30.820
which is to serve others
and to be a leader driven
00:13:30.820 --> 00:13:33.382
by the needs of the people.
00:13:33.382 --> 00:13:36.132
(crowd cheering)
00:13:41.150 --> 00:13:43.499
Every day people are getting out of bed
00:13:43.499 --> 00:13:45.840
and they\'re feeling inspired
00:13:45.840 --> 00:13:47.983
and they\'re seeing Idaho
in a different light.
00:13:49.690 --> 00:13:50.750
Not everyone may see this,
00:13:50.750 --> 00:13:54.850
but as I\'m looking into the audience,
00:13:54.850 --> 00:13:59.520
I see people\'s energy
and they\'re vibrating
00:13:59.520 --> 00:14:01.570
but they\'re connecting in that vibration.
00:14:03.660 --> 00:14:05.420
Something that has never
happened in the state
00:14:05.420 --> 00:14:06.753
of Idaho is happening.
00:14:09.750 --> 00:14:11.052
And I think it\'s beautiful.
00:14:11.052 --> 00:14:13.802
(crowd cheering)
00:14:19.594 --> 00:14:23.256
- [Crowd] Paulette, Paulette,
Paulette, Paulette, Paulette,
00:14:23.256 --> 00:14:26.941
Paulette, Paulette, Paulette,
Paulette, Paulette, Paulette,
00:14:26.941 --> 00:14:30.820
Paulette, Paulette, Paulette,
Paulette, Paulette, Paulette,
00:14:30.820 --> 00:14:33.237
Paulette, Paulette, Paulette.
00:14:36.552 --> 00:14:39.469
(crowd chattering)
00:14:40.310 --> 00:14:43.679
- Before we go, one of the
things that my ancestors
00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:45.900
have taught me best is that it\'s not
00:14:45.900 --> 00:14:47.810
about division and hate.
00:14:47.810 --> 00:14:49.870
We may see that in the
White House right now
00:14:49.870 --> 00:14:51.490
and it\'s unfortunate.
00:14:51.490 --> 00:14:52.840
But what\'s gonna get us through for
00:14:52.840 --> 00:14:56.303
these next few years and beyond,
00:14:57.250 --> 00:14:59.040
is our ability to express love.
00:14:59.040 --> 00:15:02.560
That is our uniting factor and
that will change this world.
00:15:02.560 --> 00:15:04.290
And we\'re going to do it together.
00:15:04.290 --> 00:15:07.111
So thank you all, I
love you all my family.
00:15:07.111 --> 00:15:12.111
God bless.
(crowd cheering)
00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:15.950
And now the fight continues and the people
00:15:15.950 --> 00:15:17.820
have created a movement unto itself
00:15:17.820 --> 00:15:19.590
that it\'s a shared responsibility
00:15:21.300 --> 00:15:26.300
to lead, to have humility,
to show by example,
00:15:26.700 --> 00:15:30.283
the way we should be towards
all of humanity and nature.
00:15:31.230 --> 00:15:34.030
This is the leadership that
is missing in today\'s world.
00:15:35.350 --> 00:15:38.023
And this is my responsibility
to take action now.
00:15:45.760 --> 00:15:47.590
We have to remind ourselves that we get up
00:15:47.590 --> 00:15:49.200
to serve each other.
00:15:49.200 --> 00:15:50.813
We have to remind ourselves
that we get up to do
00:15:50.813 --> 00:15:53.690
something more, something better
00:15:53.690 --> 00:15:55.890
to serve and honor one another.
00:15:55.890 --> 00:16:00.120
Our brand of leadership is
looking out for each other.
00:16:00.120 --> 00:16:01.440
It does not mean that we have loyalty
00:16:01.440 --> 00:16:02.640
to any party whatsoever.
00:16:03.700 --> 00:16:05.656
And we took care of our land.
00:16:05.656 --> 00:16:07.285
(crowd clapping)
00:16:07.285 --> 00:16:09.353
It means that we honor our elders.
00:16:09.353 --> 00:16:11.700
We respect our children.
00:16:11.700 --> 00:16:15.488
We make sure that they have
the best education possible.
00:16:15.488 --> 00:16:18.579
We make sure that our healthcare is fixed.
00:16:18.579 --> 00:16:21.329
(crowd cheering)
00:16:26.280 --> 00:16:28.030
And we all want things to be better
00:16:28.030 --> 00:16:30.160
and that\'s why you\'re here.
00:16:30.160 --> 00:16:31.813
So I had to lead this alone.
00:16:33.230 --> 00:16:35.890
When I announced and
I made it my intention
00:16:35.890 --> 00:16:39.470
to run for the US Senate
for the state of Idaho,
00:16:39.470 --> 00:16:44.000
I told people that I was not
going to be doing this alone,
00:16:44.000 --> 00:16:46.490
and I cannot do it alone.
00:16:46.490 --> 00:16:48.810
I can only do this with all of you.
00:16:48.810 --> 00:16:51.397
For Idaho by Idaho, everyday.
00:16:52.733 --> 00:16:53.566
(crowd cheering)
00:16:53.566 --> 00:16:55.832
So thank you all for standing with me.
00:16:55.832 --> 00:16:58.415
We have a job to get to, let\'s get to it.
00:16:58.415 --> 00:17:00.733
(crowd cheering)
00:17:00.733 --> 00:17:04.816
(rhythmic Native American music)
