Press Releases

Congressman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) made the following comments regarding today's decision by the U.S. Supreme Court in the case King v. Burwell:

"The Supreme Court's decision today does not change the basic truth: Obamacare is a bad law, sold deceptively, and it is fundamentally broken. Americans deserve healthcare policy that makes it easier for companies to provide insurance and for individuals to buy it themselves, not harder. I hear stories all the time about how Obamacare is hurting people in Ohio.

Heritage Action for America will honor Congressman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) on Saturday with a special "thank-you" event for consistently defending conservative values and liberty.

Heritage Action for America regional coordinator Stephanie Kreuz said of Rep. Jordan:

Congressman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) will co-chair a joint subcommittee hearing titled "A Review of the President's Executive Actions on Immigration" with Chairman Ron DeSantis (R-Florida) and his Subcommittee on National Security.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Sarah Saldaña, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Director León Rodríguez and U.S. Department of Homeland Security Inspector General John Roth will serve as witnesses.

Congressman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) released the following statement after today's vote on Trade Promotion Authority:

"Conservatives in Congress support free trade. We have been and still are willing to work with our leadership to make this legislation better. Our leadership tried to compromise with Democrats instead of us, and now we know that strategy failed. We stand ready to work on free trade legislation that is both transparent and consistent with Republican principles."
