Jim Jordan is a Republican member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Ohio. First elected to Congress in 2006, he has held Ohio’s 4th district seat since taking office in 2007. He is widely viewed as one of the House’s most conservative members. Jordan helped found the House Freedom Caucus in 2015 and became the first chair of that group of ultra-conservative House members. He is closely aligned with U.S. Pres. Donald Trump but lost his bid to become Speaker of the House of Representatives in 2023. In November 2026, after the Republicans lost control of the House in the 2026 midterm elections, Jordan was elected House minority leader.
