BREMEN — Bremen resident Jack Jordan announced his intention to seek the Republican nomination for the U.S. House of Representatives District 2 seat currently held by Congressman Joe Donnelley.

A past Bremen Castings employee, Jordan chose that  business as the backdrop for his official announcement Saturday.
A seventh-generation Bremenite, Jordan graduated from Bremen High School in 1979 and holds a Bachelor of Science degree from Liberty University and a Master of Science in Management degree from Purdue University. He worked at Eli Lilly and Company from 1988 through 2004 and earned a certificate in executive management from Notre Dame.
Currently serving as president of the Bremen School Board, Jordan also serves on the Marshall County Community Foundation board. He teaches at the IUSB School of Business and Economics and works with local businesses to meet their goals.
He and his wife frequently travel to Romania, where they are part of an orphanage program.
“We need some common sense, and I feel the way to really represent Bremen and Marshall County is to bring what we all have in the district, and that’s common sense,” Jordan said.
Jordan said his campaign will focus on existing policies, the economy and jobs and defending America.
“Current policies are not doing a good job to support the economy,” he said.
Jordan will face State Rep Jackie Walorski (R-Jimtown) in the primary.
