Paulette Jordan wants to become this state’s first Democratic governor in more than 20 years — and its first female governor, and first Native American governor. On Tuesday night, Jordan won the Democratic primary for governor in Idaho, taking about 58 percent of the vote. We have a better Idaho and we’ve seen that tonight.”She won the chance to face Lt. Gov. In the 2014 primary, about 25,000 Democrats had cast votes for governor; last night, more than 64,000 did. Jordan supporters say that group could help change the political tide in a state where Democrats are ready for change.
