Background

Jack Jordan has represented House District 17 — covering portions of Marshall, Starke, and Kosciusko counties in northern Indiana — and is listed in the 2025–26 Indiana General Assembly roster as the Republican incumbent for that seat (Source 1, 2). Jordan was added as a coauthor to HB 1296 on March 8, 2022, the same day the constitutional carry conference committee report passed the House (Source 6). No detailed biographical statement from an official campaign website was located during research.

Positions

Fiscal responsibility

Support

Jordan voted Yea on SB 1 (2026, Medicaid/SNAP immigration verification and tightened eligibility); he is not among the four Republicans who voted No on that bill (Source 7). No direct floor statement by Jordan on fiscal restraint found.

Limited government

Support

Jordan is listed in the Yea column for HB 1032 (2025 special session, mid-cycle redistricting, passed 57–41) (Source 5). No explicit statement invoking "limited government" by name found during research.

Second Amendment

Strong support

Jordan was added as a coauthor to HB 1296 (constitutional carry) on March 8, 2022, and the conference committee report passed the House 68–30 Yea on that date with Jordan in the Yea column (Source 4, 6). Co-authoring the bill constitutes a direct sponsorship action on this specific issue.

Pro-life issues

No public position found

No public position found on pro-life issues. SB 236 (2026) never reached a House floor vote (Source 8); no Jordan statement or pledge on abortion found.

Family values

No public position found

No public position found on family values. No statement or vote by Jordan specifically on SB 143, SB 289, or HB 1041 was located during research.
