![When asked if discrimination existed in Idaho, conservative Sen. Dan Foreman said no.
In a statement released Wednesday, Democratic candidate for House Seat A and member of the Nez Perce tribe Trish Carter-Goodheart said she pushed back on that idea when it was her turn to speak, pointing to her own experience and the history of white supremacy groups in Northern Idaho.
“[J]ust because someone hasn’t personally experienced discrimination, doesn’t mean it’s not happening. Racism and discrimination are real issues here in Idaho, as anyone familiar with our state’s history knows,” the statement read. “I highlighted our weak hate crime laws and mentioned the presence of the Aryan Nations in northern Idaho as undeniable evidence of this reality.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_fullsize/plain/did:plc:vqtakzi5bityrtbjj4cfan4l/bafkreiab3ah2dgmg6iofcljlcms534rtbimhm4gv2uay355z7yp4afn7mu@jpeg)

. I've slept with two men in my entire life. But when you've got the kind of insomnia I do, that's really saying something.
An author just came in and got a library card. When the person looked up their name (to make sure they didn't already have a card) the record for their books came up instead. The author was SHOCKED and DELIGHTED to see we had their books and told the person that we'd made her month. Score!
Forgive yourself. You did the best you could at the time.
