Meet Jordan

Jordan Wheatley was born and raised in Madison, West Virginia, in a working-class family that instilled in him the values of hard work, humility, and compassion. His father was a coal miner. His mother drove a school bus. Growing up, Jordan saw firsthand the struggles and sacrifices working families make just to get by.

At 15 years old, Jordan moved in with his grandmother to help care for her. He became her primary caregiver—driving her to doctor’s appointments, managing medications, and making sure she had everything she needed. Even after leaving for college, he’d drive four hours each way to be by her side in the hospital. That experience shaped the way he sees the world: through service, love, and deep respect for the people who often go unseen.

Jordan went on to earn a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Physiology from West Virginia University and later a Master of Science in Applied Cognition and Neuroscience from the University of Texas at Dallas. He worked with the nonprofit Amizade in Brazil, supporting children with disabilities, and while he once planned to become a doctor, his calling shifted to education.

Now living in McKinney, Texas, Jordan teaches 4th grade at a Title I elementary school. When he’s not in the classroom, he’s out talking with neighbors, fighting for working families, or running with his dog, Bailey. He’s also training for his next Ironman.

Jordan doesn’t come from a political dynasty. He’s not a millionaire. He’s a teacher who works two jobs and still believes public service means serving the public. He doesn’t have all the answers—but he’s ready to listen, learn, and lead.

Experience

Jordan has spent his life working hard and showing up for others. That’s the experience he brings to the table.

He’s a full-time public school teacher and works a second job to help make ends meet. Before teaching, he worked as a behavior therapist for children with autism—always focused on helping others grow and succeed. Whether in the classroom or the community, Jordan believes real leadership starts with service.

He’s also delivered newspapers at night, helped his dad run a used car lot, and stepped up as a caregiver when his family needed him most. Nothing was ever handed to him—and he never expected it to be. His life has been about grit, sacrifice, and never backing down from doing what’s right.

Jordan isn’t running for Congress because it’s his next step—he’s running because he’s tired of seeing everyday Americans ignored while Washington works for the wealthy and well-connected. He doesn’t pretend to know what every community needs—but he believes representation starts with listening, not assuming. His job is to earn your trust and carry your voice with him every step of the way.

This campaign isn’t a handout. And Jordan’s not asking for your vote—he’s working to earn it.
