Legislative Service
Jordan was elected to the Utah House of Representatives in 2021 and quickly earned the trust of his colleagues. In 2023, he was appointed to the House leadership team, one of just eight members, giving District 44 an outsized voice in shaping policy across the state. He now serves as Chair of the House Rules Committee, widely recognized as the most influential committee in the Legislature. In that role, he helps oversee the legislative process, reviewing every bill introduced and determining how it moves forward.
In addition to his leadership responsibilities, Jordan serves as co-chair of the Point of the Mountain State Land Authority, where he is helping guide one of the most significant economic development projects in the state. He has also served in key roles on appropriations and policy committees focused on economic development, business, and local government.
Jordan’s legal background has led to appointments beyond the Legislature, including serving as Utah’s commissioner on the Uniform Law Commission and as a member of the Judicial Conduct Commission.
During his time in office, Jordan has focused on delivering results in areas that matter most to Utah families, including tax relief, education, responsible growth, transportation, and protecting children online. He has been a leading voice on efforts to hold Big Tech accountable and give parents more tools to protect their kids.
His work has been recognized by a number of organizations, including the Americans for Prosperity Champions of Liberty Award, the Libertas Defender of Liberty Award, the Salt Lake Chamber Business Champion Award, and the Utah Taxpayers Association Friend of the Taxpayer Award. He was also named to the Council of State Governments “20 Under 40” and selected as a Henry Toll Fellow, recognizing emerging leaders across the country.
At the core of Jordan’s service is a commitment to conservative principles, limited government, and making sure Utah continues to be a place where families and businesses can succeed.
Professional Experience
After earning his law degree, Jordan began his legal career at a local law firm, where he worked on a wide range of civil litigation and criminal defense matters. That experience built a strong foundation as an advocate and problem-solver, handling complex cases and working directly with clients during difficult moments.
In 2014, Jordan was hired by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, where he drafted and negotiated complex technology agreements. His ability to navigate complex legal and business issues led to expanded responsibilities, including overseeing all negotiations and contracting for the Church’s meetinghouse and distributed facilities portfolio across the United States and Canada.
Currently, Jordan leads as a director overseeing global strategy and support for the Church’s manufacturing, supply chain, and procurement operations. In this role, he works across multiple disciplines to align long-term strategy, strengthen vendor and operational performance, and ensure resources are managed effectively in support of the Church’s worldwide mission.
International Experience
Jordan’s international experience began with his mission in Kyiv, Ukraine, where he developed a deep connection to the country and its people. That experience shaped his long-standing interest in international law, governance, and service.
Early in his career, he helped co-organize Ukraine’s first national jury trial competition in 2007, an effort aimed at strengthening legal institutions and advancing the rule of law.
During the summer following his first year of law school, Jordan studied international law in Strasbourg, France, through Penn State University, where U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito was among his instructors.
He went on to serve as Executive Director of the Leavitt Institute for International Development, where he led initiatives focused on strengthening legal systems in countries including Ukraine, Moldova, Poland, and Rwanda. His work involved building partnerships, training legal professionals, and supporting institutional reforms.
Jordan is fluent in Ukrainian and has studied Russian, Romanian, and French. He currently serves on the World Trade Center Utah Advisory Board, where he continues to support international engagement and economic development.
Education
Jordan grew up in South Jordan and attended Welby Elementary, Elk Ridge Middle School, and both Bingham and Riverton High School, schools that serve families across the communities he now represents. Those experiences helped shape his appreciation for education and the opportunities it creates.
He went on to attend Brigham Young University, where he graduated cum laude with a degree in political science and philosophy. During his time at BYU, Jordan was actively involved in leadership and public speaking, serving as president of the Phi Beta Lambda business fraternity. He won the Utah PBL public speaking competition three years in a row and placed fourth nationally.
Jordan later earned his law degree from the J. Reuben Clark Law School at BYU, graduating with honors. While in law school, he received the Department of Education FLAS Scholarship and was deeply involved in advocacy and legal scholarship. He represented BYU on the National Moot Court and Trial Advocacy teams and served on the executive boards for Moot Court, Trial Advocacy, and the International Center for Law and Religion Studies Symposium.
He also worked as an editorial assistant on two published books, Islam, Europe, and Emerging Legal Issues and Islam and Political-Cultural Europe, reflecting an early focus on complex legal and cultural issues that continues to influence his work today.
Volunteer
Jordan has always believed that service should be a regular part of life, not something reserved for certain seasons.
He regularly takes on pro bono legal work, helping individuals and families who would not otherwise have access to representation. He also stays closely connected to local schools, serving as a substitute teacher in the Jordan School District and volunteering in classrooms, where he enjoys working directly with students.
Jordan’s service has also extended internationally. Using his fluency in Ukrainian, he has helped families navigate the process of adopting children from Ukraine, serving as a translator and guide during a complex and emotional experience.
In the community, he has worked with youth as a Cub Scout leader and as a coach, helping young people build confidence, learn teamwork, and develop strong values.
He also volunteered for several years with the International Center for Law and Religion Studies, supporting efforts to promote religious freedom around the world.
Through each of these efforts, Jordan has focused on one simple principle: show up, help where you can, and stay involved.
Lifelong Republican
Jordan’s involvement in the Republican Party began early, serving as a state delegate at just 17 years old. Since then, he has remained consistently engaged, serving as both a state and county delegate and staying closely connected to the grassroots of the party.
During his time at Brigham Young University, Jordan was active in the BYU College Republicans and interned with leadership in the Utah House of Representatives, gaining early experience in the legislative process.
Over the years, Jordan has played an active role in campaigns at both the state and federal level, helping elect conservative leaders and advance Republican principles.
He has also been elected to key leadership roles within the party, including serving on the State Central Committee and as chair of the State GOP Constitution and Bylaws Committee. He is frequently asked to serve as a parliamentarian at party meetings and conventions, reflecting the trust others place in his understanding of party rules and process.
Through it all, Jordan has remained committed to the principles of limited government, individual liberty, and personal responsibility, and to ensuring the party remains strong, principled, and accountable.
Family
Jordan is the oldest of eight siblings and grew up in a close, hardworking family that shaped his values from an early age.
He and his wife, Aliona, are raising their three children in South Jordan. Their kids stay busy with soccer, basketball, and gymnastics, and much of their time is spent at games, practices, and on the sidelines cheering them on. Jordan also spends time coaching youth sports, which has become one of his favorite ways to stay involved and connected with the community.
As a family, they enjoy being outdoors, working in the yard, traveling when they can, and spending time together, whether that’s at home, at a game, or out exploring somewhere new. They’ve built their life in South Jordan and are grateful to be part of a community they care deeply about.
For Jordan, family isn’t separate from public service, it’s the reason for it. He wants to make sure his kids, and every family in the community, have the same opportunities to grow, succeed, and build a good life in Utah.
Jordan is committed to continuing to serve District 44 with integrity, accountability, and a focus on conservative, results-driven leadership.
