Biography

A practical record of building and leading

Before moving fully into community work, Jordan operated a construction business. He managed people, contractors, budgets, equipment, project schedules, permits, deadlines, and the everyday consequences of decisions that had to work in the real world.

Jordan now serves as Executive Director of the Integrated Homelessness & Addictions Response Centre, commonly known as IHARC, a registered non-profit serving Northumberland County.

That work requires building partnerships, navigating public systems, responding to difficult situations, and keeping files moving when responsibility is divided among several organizations.

Together, those experiences shaped a practical approach to leadership: define the problem, identify who is responsible, understand the cost, make a decision, and follow through.

The campaign

Why Jordan is running

Jordan is running for Mayor because Port Hope is entering a period of major decisions. The municipality must address aging infrastructure, housing pressure, affordability, public safety, responsible growth, and the opportunities and demands that could come with future investment in the community.

He believes Port Hope can protect the character that makes it special while also preparing responsibly for the future. That means maintaining what already works, fixing what does not, making room for the next generation, and being honest about the financial and practical realities facing the municipality.

His campaign is built around a straightforward commitment: give residents clear answers, make decisions based on evidence, and focus municipal government on delivering measurable results.
