Nick Jordan is an American Republican politician who is currently the State Senator for Kansas' 10th District, which is centered around Shawnee, Kansas. Jordan ran and defeated Paul Showen in the Republican Primary for Kansas' 3rd Congressional Seat with 76% of the vote. On November 4th, he will take on incumbent Democrat Dennis Moore.

Early Life

Jordan was born in 1949 and is a lifelong Kansan.[1] Jordan started his career as a busboy, eventually becoming a Hotel Manager.[1] Jordan has a 40-year career in the travel and tourism industry. Jordan has been married to his wife Linda for over 25 years; together they have a daughter and three grandchildren.[1]

State Senator

In 1995, Jordan was selected by Republican precinct committee people and appointed by then-Gov. Bill Graves to fill the seat vacated by a former State Senator.[1] Jordan has since been reelected without serious opposition. One of the more powerful and influential Senators in Kansas, Jordan has served as the Chair of numerous Committees. He is currently the Chair on the Joint Committee on Economic Development and the Co-Chair of the Commerce Committee. [2]

2008 Congressional Race

Jordan informally entered the Congressional race in August of 2007.[3] Upon his entry, the Kansas City Star noted his appeal from both moderate and conservative Republicans.[3] Appeal from both factions of the Republican Party is important to any Kansas Republican, as the two factions have a historically bitter divide. The Kansas City Star concluded that he would be a formidable challenger to Moore in the Republican-leaning 3rd Congressional District.[3] According to Jordan's website, his top campaign issues include: making health care more accessible, keeping the economy strong and returning integrity back to Congress.
