"Jordan earned his degree from Calvin College and moved to Washington, D.C. to begin a career taking on the establishment and battling corruption. He served as Vice President of End Citizens United (ECU)–an organization dedicated to getting big money out of politics. At ECU, Jordan took on special interest groups and stood up to leaders and candidates, including in his own party. Jordan spearheaded the No Corporate PAC Pledge, a national effort to get members of Congress and candidates to disavow corporate PAC money as campaign contributions. Because of that work, today, 20% of Democrats in Congress refuse corporate PAC donations — up from just 1% when Jordan started.

"Jordan went on to serve as Chief of Staff to Congresswoman Katie Porter, known for taking on powerful Wall Street banks and powerful financial interests. He was on Capitol Hill, barricaded in the office with the Congresswoman, on January 6. He saw first-hand the crisis facing our democracy and understands the dangerous threat posed by far-right political extremists aligned with Donald Trump. He went on to co-found and lead democracyFIRST, a cross-partisan pro-democracy organization dedicated to combating growing threats to the free and fair administration and certification of our elections.

Jordan and his husband, Jake, moved home to Maine and settled in Bristol, where today, they are raising their daughter, Ella.

At a time when Washington needs leaders who are willing to take on bullies, stop corruption, and protect our democracy, Jordan Wood will be a Senator who stands up for Maine families like his–and yours..."
