Jordan Wheatley doesn’t have a "political origin story"—he has a life of showing up when no one is watching. From the gravel car lots of West Virginia to his 4th-grade classroom today, Jordan’s life has been defined by one mission: giving people the tools to speak for themselves in a world that tries to speak for them.

Jordan isn’t running to be a politician. He’s running because he’s a teacher who refuses to watch a rigged system steal his students' potential before they even pick up a pencil. He’s a coach who works two jobs and a caregiver who knows that everyone is fighting a battle you can't see.

He’s ready to go from the Classroom to the Capitol to fight the wealthy few and the politicians in their pockets—because this teacher has had enough of bullies!
