Candidate for Mayor of Port Hope
A Town to Build a Life In.
Protect what makes Port Hope special, fix the basics, and build the housing, infrastructure and opportunity every generation needs.
New
Six rules for this campaign. Six rules for Town Hall. All 12 are now public.
Why I’m running
Port Hope needs clear ownership and practical follow-through.
I am running because Port Hope needs a mayor who brings the right people to the same table, takes ownership and keeps work moving after the meeting ends.
Good leadership keeps roles, budgets, timelines and resident outcomes visible until the work is done.
The 3-part plan
Fix the basics. Protect Port Hope. Prepare for what is next.
Three clear goals make the plan easy to understand. Six detailed priorities show the work behind them.
Fix the basics
Prioritize roads, pipes, facilities and reliable services. Show the need, alternatives and cost before asking residents for more.

Priority 01
Fix the Basics: Infrastructure, Affordability and Reliable Services
37¢ of every $1of the annual tax-supported infrastructure requirement is currently funded
Port Hope has improved its infrastructure funding, but nearly two-thirds of the annual tax-supported requirement remains unfunded. Jordan will combine sustained municipal funding, coordinated construction, trenchless rehabilitation, grants, outside partnerships and controlled Living Lab pilots to accelerate renewal with a broader funding strategy beyond property taxes.

Better Access to Basic Healthcare
Jordan will use Town Hall and the mayor's County Council seat to help unlock credible local care through space, coordination, advocacy and limited, accountable investment.

Growth Without Losing Port Hope
Port Hope should grow deliberately, at a pace its infrastructure and services can support, with more housing and investment that strengthen its character.

Wesleyville on Port Hope's Terms
Jordan supports new nuclear development at Wesleyville. He will use Port Hope's support and leverage to negotiate a binding local agreement that protects taxpayers, funds project-driven municipal needs and includes a fully funded Port Hope Energy Dividend.

A Diverse Local Economy
Port Hope should welcome investment that fits the community, creates durable local value and pays fairly for the services it uses. Town Hall will provide clear rules, timely service and accountable decisions.

Safe Public Spaces. Regional Solutions.
Port Hope is not facing the same concentration of visible homelessness, addictions-related crises and public-space pressure that Cobourg is managing. That gives us time to prepare, not permission to look away. Jordan will protect safe, welcoming public spaces in Port Hope and push for a regional response that supports neighbouring municipalities instead of leaving one community to carry the burden.

No wrong door. Show the work. Report back.
Residents should not need to understand the structure of government before asking for help. When another body controls the decision, Town Hall should explain the route, carry the file and tell residents where it stands.
