WOODBRIDGE – (Press Release) Former Chairman of the Virginia State Board of Social Services, D.J. Jordan, 41, announced his intent to run for the 31st District of the Virginia state House of Delegates in this year’s elections. The district includes parts of Prince William and Fauquier Counties.
“I am excited to announce my campaign for the 31st District of the Virginia House of Delegates,” said Jordan.
“If elected, I will advocate for policies that build a culture of human dignity, expand economic and educational opportunities for families, and help small businesses innovate and create high-paying jobs. This campaign is not about me, but rather about the people of this community and the role of state government in our everyday lives. All Virginians deserve a state government that supports our basic freedoms and equal opportunity to succeed.”
Jordan will seek the Republican nomination for the general election on November 5, 2019, when all 100 state House of Delegate seats and all 40 state Senate seats are on the ballot. The House of Delegates currently has a 51-49 Republican majority; all 100 members are elected for two-year terms.
He is running as a Republican, in large part, because of his admiration and respect for Lincoln’s Party and the foundational tenets embodied in its beliefs.
Jordan was born and raised in the Tidewater, Virginia area, earned a Bachelor’s degree in Communications from Liberty University, and played on the football team as a student-athlete. He also earned a Masters in Public Management from The Johns Hopkins University.
Jordan worked in the U.S. Congress for ten years in several offices, including the House Committee on Small Business. Prior to coming to Capitol Hill in 2008, he worked in broadcast journalism at CNN and also Fox News. Jordan now works for a public relations firm in Alexandria.
“Throughout this campaign, I will lay out a set of ideas that create more opportunity for families in this district, and I encourage people to engage us at VoteDJ.com,” he said.
Jordan and his wife, Glorya, have four children, and have fostered and adopted from foster care. They live in Woodbridge, and are members of Move Church in Lake Ridge.
Democrat Elizabeth Guzman currently holds the 31st District seat.
