As Chief of Staff to Council Members Amanda Edwards and Dr. Letitia Plummer, Jordan learned how to navigate bureaucracy and cut through bottlenecks to deliver for Houstonians. Today, as a Project Manager at Grid United, he helps lead efforts to unite the nation’s power grids — advancing projects that improve reliability, strengthen infrastructure, and lower costs for families.
Jordan’s roots in advocacy run deep. Before his work in energy and local government, he was a union organizer with SEIU, helping hospital workers win fair wages and better benefits. He’s carried that commitment to fairness and equity into every chapter of his career. He has also served on the Board of Directors of LINK Houston, working to expand equitable transportation access, and on the Board of the ACLU of Texas, defending civil rights and liberties across the state.- I’m running for City Council At-Large 4 because when I read the news, listen to the radio, or doom-scroll on my phone, the message I get from City Hall is that Houston is broke and no longer capable of achieving great things, no longer capable of summoning our legendary entrepreneurial spirit, and no longer interested in inspiring the next generation of Houstonians. I reject this message. Houston is mine, it is yours, it is ours. We cannot cede its future to people who do not believe in it with the same strength of our own convictions.
- This campaign will be one of vision and boldness. It will not be a campaign of the usual platitudes and unoriginal ideas that fill our airwaves and inboxes every election season. It cannot be that type of campaign — not when our police department is collaborating with ICE to deport domestic abuse victims; not when the city is paying wages so low that it cannot retain solid waste drivers; and we certainly can’t afford politics as usual when the engine of our prosperity – the ability to purchase a home — is slipping from the grasp of everyday Houstonians
- I am running to end parking minimums, to make Houston more walkable; to boost transit-oriented development; to bring equity to neighborhood parks; to fix the broken TIRZ system. I am running because I know that public safety is its own form of infrastructure, and that public safety means more than how many officers patrol the streets. Affordable housing is public safety. Community pools, summer jobs, neighborhood block parties, adequate street lighting, and violence intervention programs all contribute to public safety infrastructure. I do not pretend that one councilmember serving one half of one term can fix everything. But I know that a movement of Houstonians dedicated to this vision can achieve it in time.
Transportation is infrastructure.
Housing is infrastructure.
Sidewalks and streets are infrastructure.
Open ditches are infrastructure.
Drainage is infrastructure.
Shade is infrastructure.
With his blend of policy expertise, hands-on leadership, and a deep personal stake in Houston’s future, Jordan is ready to fight for a city that works for everyone.
Today, Jordan and his family call Montrose home. He lives there with his wife and their young son, and like so many Houston families, they are deeply invested in the city’s future. Outside of work and public service, Jordan is an avid cyclist, often seen on Houston’s bike trails, and a hunter, spending time outdoors where he finds balance and focus.
