“Let justice be done though the heavens fall.”
-Motto of the Supreme Court of Georgia
Meet Jen Jordan
Jen Jordan (pronounced Jer-Dun) has spent the last 25 years as an attorney, and then as a state senator, fighting for everyday Georgians.
Jen grew up in Dodge County, the oldest child of a single mother who worked as a hairdresser and who taught her daughters the value of hard work and perseverance.
As a girl, Jen learned those lessons, and benefitted from the support that Georgia offers determined students, going to Georgia Southern University on the encouragement of her public-school teachers and a HOPE scholarship, and then working her way through law school at the University of Georgia, where she graduated at the top of her class.
It was in law school that Jen found her voice and came to believe deeply that the courthouse should be a place where everyone is treated equally and that the law can be a powerful tool for justice.
Jen’s small town background informs her approach to the law and public service. Put simply, she believes in helping people when they need it the most. Jen has put those beliefs into practice throughout her career – fighting to protect Georgians’ right to vote and right to privacy, to prevent corporate polluters from poisoning Georgia’s air and water with cancer causing chemicals, and to protect children from sexual predators and abusers.
Because of her real-life experience in the courtroom and out of it, Jen knows that now, more than ever, we need a Supreme Court that will take a stand and fight for the rights of each and every Georgian. That’s why Jen is running -- to protect the constitutional rights of her children and every other Georgian.
