CCRKBA CONGRATULATES REP. JIM JORDAN, STRONG 2A ADVOCATE, ON LEADERSHIP WIN
BELLEVUE, WA – The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (CCRKBA) congratulates veteran Ohio Congressman Jim Jordan on his selection as House Minority Leader for the coming session.
“Jim Jordan has a consistent record as a defender of our Second Amendment,” said CCRKBA Executive Director Andrew Gottlieb. “He has not wavered in his commitment to the entire Bill of Rights, but over the years he has shown a particular willingness to protect the right of individual citizens to keep and bear arms, and right now, with anti-gun Democrats already giving strong signals they will promote more gun control, Jordan is an excellent man for the job.”
Jordan, representing Ohio’s 4th Congressional District, is a Buckeye State native, born in the city of Troy in 1964. First elected to Congress in 2006 after serving in the Ohio Legislature, Rep. Jordan will step into the GOP leadership position with a wealth of experience. A high school and college wrestling champion, he has a bachelor’s degree in economics, a master’s degree in education and a Juris Doctor law degree.
He has served as House Judiciary Committee chairman, and on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. He also chaired the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government during the 118th Congress.
“We’re especially impressed with Jordan’s no-nonsense approach during various hearings involving Second Amendment issues,” Gottlieb said. “When he’s challenging policies and philosophies which clearly are aimed at eroding the rights of citizens, he doesn’t kid around. We expect he will continue to confront issues head-on.
“In the aftermath of the midterm elections,” he observed, “House Republicans need a take-charge kind of person as Minority Leader, and they’ve definitely chosen such an individual in Jim Jordan.”
