He joined the debate club and student government. After getting his degree, he went to law school in Virginia. After working as an attorney for a few years, Jordan decided to run for Congress in his home district in Maine. His campaign focused on improving the local economy, healthcare access, and environmental protections. Jordan narrowly won the election in a competitive race.read less
