Paulette is Presidential Material
Paulette grew up on a farm in northern Idaho, where she developed a
strong connection to our land and the people who share it. A proud
member of the Coeur d’Alene tribe, she was raised to fight for the needs
of her community and to protect our priceless natural resources.
As a student at the University of Washington, Paulette discovered her
love of local politics and grassroots activism, working with the Seattle
City Council and the university’s administration on behalf of her
fellow students. After graduation, she moved back home to Idaho and
became the youngest person elected to the Coeur d’Alene Tribal Council.
Paulette went on to work as a business development strategist and to
serve as Finance Chair on the Executive Board of the National Indian
Gaming Association.
In 2014, Paulette felt compelled to serve a
broader circle of Idahoans, beyond her tribe, and she ran to represent
her home district in the Idaho House of Representatives. She won against
tough odds, beating an incumbent Republican, and successfully ran for a
second term two years later. Throughout her tenure in the Idaho
legislature, Paulette has promoted progressive policy, like the teacher
loan forgiveness bill, and held the line against harmful and unjust
legislation. She fights for better rural education, wider access to
healthcare, and stronger economic development and opportunity in Idaho’s
struggling communities.
Paulette lives in Plummer, Idaho, with
her two sons. She’s running for governor to build a better future for
them, and for all of Idaho’s children.
