Could Paulette Jordan give Senator Jim Risch trouble in the November election?

While Risch still has a huge advantage over opponent Jordan in campaign cash on hand, Jordan came within $20,000 of his fundraising during the last campaign finance reporting period.

Risch, who is the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, has been in the Senate since 2009.

The Idaho Press reports, Jordan is a former state legislator from north Idaho whose 2018 bid for governor drew a fair bit of national attention. Idaho hasn’t elected a Democratic senator since 1974, and most analysts consider Risch’s seat to be safe.
