Meet Emily Jordan
Delegate Emily Jordan is a fighter for the communities that she serves. In the General Assembly, Emily has worked to secure millions to expand broadband internet, championed workforce training initiatives that create good paying jobs, and has opposed burdensome regulations on our farmers and agricultural communities.
Emily has also defended law enforcement and opposed the soft on crime agenda that extreme progressives attempted to pass in Richmond. Emily will ALWAYS put the safety of our families and communities first.
Emily makes it a priority to combat inflation by supporting tax cuts for Virginia families. Emily voted to end the grocery tax, cut income taxes, and opposed the gas tax hike. Working families are struggling in todays' economy and she knows that you know how to spend your money best, not Richmond bureaucrats.
First elected to the 64th District in the House of Delegates in November of 2017, Emily represents the counties of Isle of Wight, Surry, and Prince George, and parts of the City of Suffolk. Emily lives in Windsor with her husband, Andrew, a law enforcement professional, and her family.

On The Issues
Economy & Jobs
As a small business owner, Emily understands the excessive taxes, fees, and regulations that are strangling Virginia's economy. By keeping your taxes low, cutting unnecessary government spending, and growing small businesses we can begin to attract high-paying jobs to our region. As a member of the House Appropriations Committee, which hears all legislation relating to our state budget, Emily has worked to defeat bad legislation that would have poorly allocated funding within our Commonwealth.
Family Values
Having been adopted, one of Emily's top priorities has been reforming the Adoption and Foster Care system in Virginia. There are hundreds of children across the Commonwealth that are ready to be adopted, and families that want to provide a loving home. In Richmond, Emily has made it a top priority to streamline the adoption process to give children better options for permanency.
Tough on Crime in Our Communities
Emily voted to get tough on violent crime, repealing soft on crime legislation. Emily will always back the blue and work to make our communities safe. Working with Attorney General Jason Miyares, Delegate Jordan passed legislation that requires the Department of Criminal Justice Services to establish training standards for law-enforcement personnel regarding the recognition, prevention, and reporting of human trafficking.

This is so sad,brings back the horrible memories of Union Camp sellout and then International Paper closing. Franklin suffered so much, employment opportunities, school division decline, small business closing and unfortunately Empoia like Franklin has a lot to lose. Heartfelt feelings for Emporia and Greenville County. abd
My heart is with Emporia. We’ll get through this together.
Joint Statement on Georgia Pacific Closure

Who actually composed this document? Lobbyists?
As an employee of GP, a sincere thank you to Senator Jordan and Delegate Wachsmann for your immediate support and response on all employees and families impacted on this closure due to the Joe Biden leadership over the last 4 years. We would not be in this crisis if it wasn’t for him and his wasteful government spending leadership. GP has been suffering for well over a year in the plywood division and that is a fact. Ever since last year the nation is at a 30 year low on on housing. And like any another company you cannot wait for the economy to recover. This has nothing to do with tariffs because we make plywood and sell plywood in the United States.
Trump’s America. I remember when Emily stood for the people and not for this nonsense.
I want to give a heartfelt thank you to our dispatchers. They answer the call oftentimes on someone’s worst day and navigate the complexity of traumatic experiences with professionalism.

Thank you for your support! You are one of the few who have truly supported 911 dispatchers and fought for us in Richmond.
YES!!! Nw if you can just get them classified as public safety and not ‘office staff’. They are in no way ‘office staff’, they are the front line of public safety. Thank you to all the dispatchers who have our backs over the phone/radio.
Thank you for your continued support of the profession!
I am honored to support my friend and Virginia’s Attorney General Jason Miyares! I am most proud of his work on tackling the opioid crisis with “One Pill Can Kill” and his effort to decrease gun crimes with his Project Ceasefire initiative.

Thank you, Senator Emily Jordan.
Today the first bill Gov. Youngkin signed was my SB1289, which will ban harmful food dyes in K-12 school food. (Red 3, Red 40, Yellow 5, Yellow 6, Blue 1, Blue 2 & Green 3). Virginia will be the 2nd state in the nation to take this action. I want to thank Delegate @hillarypughkent for carrying the House companion HB1910, the strong ladies of @rally.virginia for their advocacy work on championing this topic and to each and every parent and school officials that reached out in support of making sure our kids start the day with the healthiest food options. Never underestimate the power of passion for those that advocate for healthier children — together we will make a difference!
