The oldest of eight children, Jordan grew up in South Jordan, Utah, attending elementary, middle school, and high school in the area. He graduated with honors from Brigham Young University with a BA in Political Science/Philosophy and a Juris Doctor. While in law school, he received the prestigious DoE FLAS scholarship. Jordan also represented BYU at the national Moot Court and Trial Advocacy competitions. Jordan is a member of the Utah bar and is admitted to practice law before the U.S. Supreme Court.
After law school, Jordan worked for a law firm specializing in constitutional law and international legal reform. He now works for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, where he negotiates strategic real estate agreements. He has served as executive director of the Leavitt Institute for International Development, directing legal reform work in eastern Europe and Africa. He has also worked part-time with the International Center for Law and Religion Studies.
Jordan and his wife, Aliona, have three adorable kids-Tristan (9), Tanner (7), and Madeleine (4). They love to travel, work together in the yard, and attend sporting events.
- Limited Government & Local Control. I am a strong proponent of Federalism and states' rights. I am a fiscal conservative who supports less regulation and lower taxes. I am pro-life and fully support the Second Amendment. I am a strong supporter of legal immigration and oppose any action that normalizes illegal immigration.
- Responsible Growth, Infrastructure, and Transportation Needs. Having grown up in this area, I know the challenges that come with our tremendous growth. I have consistently opposed the Olympia Hills development and will champion legislation to ensure future zoning decisions like this are made by local leaders. We need better infrastructure to support our growing community. Our roads are too congested and we do not have viable corridors going north to south or east to west. I will work to prioritize and expedite our transportation needs.
- Transparent Tax Reform & Less Regulation. In order for the economy to thrive, government must get out of the way. I will fight against unnecessary regulation, crony capitalism, and regulatory capture. I will ensure that our tax system is simple, fair, and limited.
I believe in limited government and local control-and will ask two questions before considering any legislation: First, is this the role of government? AND second, is this something that can be solved by more local government? If a bill cannot pass these two hurdles, it will not receive my support.
As I have grown up in this community, I have witnessed our unprecedented growth. We lack the infrastructure needed to support the current population, let alone the growth that our corner of valley will continue to see. We need a strong advocate in the legislature who can expedite our infrastructure needs and develop a long-term approach to meet our growth.
We need a leader who can bring our economy and schools into the 21st century. There are way too many regulations that are strangling small businesses. I will fight against regulation and antiquated laws that are only in place to protect special interest. This will be especially true as we work to recover from this COVID-19 pandemic.
At the same time, we need to make sure local school leaders and parents have more control over their schools' funding and curriculum. We need to empower local school leaders and parents with the ability to innovate to meet the needs of their individual students.
Finally, we need to restore our fundamental freedoms. I believe in families, religion, free speech, and in our right to practice those beliefs according to the dictates of our conscience.
I think most important is to elect someone who understands the needs of the district they support and who will unabashingly advocate for their area with integrity and honesty.
My first job was when I was 14 years as a soccer referee. I took my initially refereeing classes at the West Jordan City Hall. At a young age, I learned how to make tough calls and deal with difficult people while keeping a cool head. I continued to referee soccer on-and-off until I entered law school.
I think the biggest challenge we will face in the next decade is dealing with the growth that our state has seen and will continue to see. Specifically in the southwest part of the Salt Lake Valley, we lack the infrastructure needed to support our current population, let alone the growth that our corner of valley will continue to see. We need a strong advocate in the legislature who can expedite our infrastructure needs and develop a long-term approach to meet our growth. The 32,182 acres of undeveloped land west of us is the last significant developable area in the county. The decisions we make today on how that land is developed will have lasting consequences on the vitality and quality of life for our community. I have consistently opposed the Olympia Hills development and will champion legislation to ensure future zoning decisions like this are made by local leaders.
The state legislature's job is to legislate-debate and pass laws and policy. The governor's job is to enact the laws and policy that the legislature has established. It is extremely important that all branches of government strongly protect their rights and responsibilities and do not abdicate their rights and responsibilities to other branches.
Absolutely. A member of the Utah House of Representatives is just one vote out of seventy-five members. It is extremely important to be able to build relationships with other legislators in order to move along the legislation you are sponsoring and to adequately represent your district.

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
