His background includes a distinguished wrestling career, graduating from Graham High School as a four-time state champion and becoming a two-time NCAA Division I wrestling champion at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, where he earned a Bachelor's Degree in Economics. Before his congressional service, he served in the Ohio House of Representatives (1995–2000) and Ohio Senate (2001–2006). Jordan has held influential roles on committees such as the House Judiciary Committee and House Oversight Committee, where his combative style and tenacious approach, often attributed to his wrestling background, have made him a key figure in the Republican Party's conservative wing and a vocal critic of government overreach.
