Idaho Dems insist on neutrality after Jordan email snafu

COEUR d’ALENE — The Idaho Democratic Party is putting out a brushfire that flared up after gubernatorial candidate Paulette Jordan sent out a controversial campaign fundraising email Saturday. The email from “Idaho Dems (via Paulette Jordan)” solicited funds in the last days leading up to the party primary May 15. The term “Idaho Dems” is part of the state party’s Twitter handle and its Facebook page address. Jordan faces 2014 Democratic gubernatorial nominee A.J. Balukoff for this year’s Democratic nomination.
