Political activities
Jordan and his family are long-time Republican donors, and Jordan has supported Republican groups and candidates such as John Boehner, Monica Wehby, and NewRepublican.org. Jordan gained particular notoriety for supporting Massachusetts Senate candidate Gabriel Gomez, spending over one million dollars to support a PAC that Jordan created to advocate for Gomez's election. After initially donating primarily to American Crossroads, Jordan became part of a growing group of "relatively anonymous free-spenders" funding their own political organizations. Jordan was the third most prolific donor to Super PACs in 2013. In addition to his political giving, Jordan has also written opinion columns for Fox News.
