Democratic candidate for governor Terri Pickens made her latest stop in Coeur d’Alene to speak with and answer questions from prospective voters. Pickens started her “Coffee with Terri” event by sharing her reasoning for running. When her daughter, Maya, went away to college, she told Pickens she wouldn’t be coming back to Idaho.
“I know why she's not coming back,” Pickens said. “It's because she lost bodily autonomy, she is a gay woman and she does not feel safe in Idaho. That is the most heartbreaking thing that a mother can face, that your daughter doesn't feel safe in the place where you were born and raised and where she was born and raised.”
