A public servant at heart, Joshua Jordan is a constitutional conservative who’s political ideology has always been driven by common sense ideals. Since he was a little boy, Joshua has strived to serve others & bring a voice to those who otherwise may not have one - it’s the way his Momma & Daddy raised him. When Joshua turned 17, life brought him to North Carolina where he was introduced to the city he would soon choose to call home - Raleigh. Joshua graduated from Sanderson High School with honors, & attended Hofstra University, double majoring in Business Entrepreneurship & Political Science. Joshua immersed himself into Politics, where he earned a position as the Long Island Regional Chairman for The New York Federation of College Republicans, as well as earning a position working on President Donald Trump’s Campaign. Joshua left college & moved back to Raleigh after the rising costs & liberal bias of most professors did not match the return on investment he expected from an institution of higher learning. He co-founded a marketing company & quickly immersed himself in the world of running a small business. While helping many small businesses increase their bottom-line was fulfilling, he felt a calling to a higher purpose - a life-long dream of becoming a firefighter. Joshua currently lives in Raleigh with his girlfriend, Dominique who is a 4th grade teacher for Wake County Schools, still volunteers at his local firehouse, & is looking forward to adopting a dog (or two).
  • Public Service
  • Common Sense Conservatism
  • People First Platform
Joshua has worked hard to develop a platform that includes, but is not limited to five key topics: Education, Healthcare, Business Growth & Job Creation, First Responder Advocacy, and Veterans & Our Military.

Joshua will take the fight for our Children to the State House, and fiercely advocate not only for better pay for our educators, but to fix our very broken public school system for ALL of North Carolina’s Children.

Joshua is a fierce fighter for Medical Freedom & Freedom from Persecution from employers or the government regarding private medical conditions and choices. Joshua was on the Frontlines when Covid-19 struck America, and will continue to be on the Frontlines of this Public Health Event advocating for common-sense against the waves of Politicians suffering from "Pandemic Panic" disorder.

Job creation is vital to North Carolina's Economy, and Joshua will advocate & support the creation of jobs while in the State House daily. Raleigh, North Carolina is an entrepreneurial hub, and Joshua will ensure it stays that way for decades to come. Just like Joshua built a six-figure portfolio of clients, Josh will work even harder to build a portfolio of North Carolina Businesses that benefit from the legislation he drafts.

Joshua will fight & advocate for Veterans, our Active Duty Soldiers, and First Responders in a way the North Carolina General Assembly has yet to have seen.
The person I look up to the most is my dad. He is who I attribute my strong work ethic to. My dad grew up in a small, rural home in South Georgia, was the first in his family to attend college, started off at the bottom of the totem pole in his industry, & now is the Vice-President of an agricultural chemical company in Cary, North Carolina. My dad has shown me that with a little hard work & personal accountability - you can change the life of yourself & your family for generations to come. If my father, who had every reason in the world to wallow in pity in his circumstances, didn't, & created a great life for himself - then I have faith that EVERY American can do so as well.
To have a backbone first & foremost. Too many politicians these days sway in the wind that is public opinion - always trying to be on the right side of it - even at the expense of their morals & values. That is unacceptable in my opinion. We need to get back to how representatives *should* be - Representatives of the People. Not Representatives of special interests, of big business, or whatever cause is giving them the most money at the time. We were born with two ears, and one mouth for a reason. We should, especially as politicians, be listening more than we talk.
I believe it is my life's calling to serve others. Now, the way I've served others has changed a bit throughout the years, however, it has remained a core tenant of who I am as a person. I will approach all that I do in political office in the same way - with a servant's heart. I will NEVER draft legislation that puts the People of North Carolina second to any special interest group. I am a People-First politician, and I will display such every single day I am in the State House.
Welcome to the Jungle by Guns N' Roses. Probably doesn't help that it's my ringtone.
I would love to have the opportunity to shape policies regarding our First Responders, therefore I'd love to be a part of the Joint Legislative Emergency Management Oversight Committee, which my General Election Opponent, Grier Martin, currently is a part of. I believe I would bring a common-sense perspective of a current First Responder to such a committee.

I would also love to be a part of the House Standing Committee on K-12 Education. North Carolina's public schools are in dire need of fixing, and I would be doing my constituents a disservice if I did not involve myself in fixing them.

Lastly, I see myself really doing well on the Standing Ethics committee. I am a staunch believer in conducting business "by the book", and I hope to bring a greater sense of accountability to the NC House by being on such a committee.
My focus right now is serving the people of NC House District 34. However, I am a staunch believer in term limits, which is why I've pledged, if elected to serve a maximum of 3 terms in District 34 if the great people of District 34 will it to be so. So if God directs me towards higher office in the future, then I would be interested.
I remember during the early days of my campaign, I was sitting at a school board meeting across from a little girl and her mother. They got up to deliver a speech to the school board, which described how this little girl was struggling in school due to various medical conditions caused (as diagnosed by a medical professional) by the restriction of airflow of a mask - which at the time was mandated by both the State of North Carolina & the Wake County school board. I felt so moved by her story that I knew I had to FIGHT the best I could to ensure that our State's children & parents have advocates willing to defend them against such tyranny.

I hear constantly, either at events or when I'm out in the community, from people who my message & platform resonates with. I've been told that I give them hope for the future - which I believe is the best feedback a politician or candidate could ever hear.
