Georgia Supreme Court challenger Jen Jordan officially vowed to oppose Governor Brian Kemp’s (R-GA) call for Georgia to redraw its congressional districts as part of her nonpartisan campaign.
Jordan revealed this intention as part of a campaign statement in which she emphasized the new importance of her election. According to Jordan, the outcome of redistricting will determine whose voice matters in the State of Georgia for the next decade.
She stated, “That’s the power of the court that is on the ballot here in Georgia – and that’s exactly why this race matters so much for Georgians’ rights.”
Jordan called for support and vowed to defend voting rights from politicians "weaponizing" the law.
She stated, “We need justices who will defend the right to vote, not enable its erosion. Justices who see the law as a shield for the people, not a weapon for politicians.”

Further Context
Jordan previously served as a state senator representing the sixth district, and she ran for Attorney General in 2022 against incumbent Chris Carr. Having served as a member of the Democratic party, she is now running for a nonpartisan position.
Jordan has accumulated several high-level endorsements, including Senators Jon Ossoff (D-GA) and Raphael Warnock (D-GA), Former President Barack Obama, and Former Vice President Kamala Harris.
While the challenger has switched from a partisan to non-partisan focus, her partisan alignments have not changed. In fact, Jordan has a history of ideological alignment that informs her current positions.
In 2021, she wrote an op-ed slamming Georgia’s voter laws as racist, claiming they continue to 'widen the racial gap.' She then called for 'systemic changes to policing' after the deaths of Ahmaud Arbery and George Floyd in a now deleted tweet.
In 2021, Jordan also opposed a bill targeting crime committed during mob protests after the George Floyd riots. As state senator, she voted against legislation that would increase penalties for crimes against law enforcement.
