Biography

After graduating from medical school in 1968, Jordan ran a drug rehabilitation center in Jersey City.[1] His political involvement began when he joined a local reform group called the Community Action Council.[1] Jordan was first elected as a reform candidate in a special election following the resignation of Thomas J. Whelan after Whelan's conviction for extortion and conspiracy.[2] Jordan's election was hailed as an end to machine control of Jersey City politics, and was credited to support from a large number of young voters.[3] He was re-elected to a full four-year term in 1973.[1]

Jordan was the first mayor to propose a major redevelopment of the Jersey City waterfront.[1] During his term, Jordan appointed Shirley Tolentino as the first African-American woman to serve as a full-time municipal court judge in New Jersey.[4]

In 1977, Jordan simultaneously ran for reelection in Jersey City's non-partisan May election and for the Democratic nomination for Governor of New Jersey, with the primary held in June. Jordan used an aggressive television advertising campaign that was estimated to cost up to $200,000.[5]

After losing the mayoral election, he withdrew from the gubernatorial primary and supported incumbent Governor Brendan Byrne.[6] Jordan's campaign later received a $30,000 campaign contribution from Byrne's campaign, allowing him to retire 25% of his campaign debt.[7] Jordan retired from politics and returned to his medical career following his withdrawal from the primary. He later served as the Chairman of Emergency Medicine at Trinitas Hospital in Elizabeth, New Jersey.[8]

Jordan currently serves as a member of the New Jersey State Board of Human Services and served as its chairman from 1991 until 1996.[9] He is also the treasurer of the State Board of Medical Examiners.[10]
