SCOOP: Jim Jordan makes latest 2026 endorsement in pivotal House race
Rep. Jim Jordan's latest endorsement takes the Ohio congressman right to the presidential hotspot of Iowa.
Rep. Jim Jordan (R., Ohio), the House Judiciary Committee Chairman long beloved by conservative activists, is making his latest 2026 endorsement, plans of which were first obtained by the Washington Reporter.
Jordan is backing first-time congressional candidate Joe Mitchell, a former state Representative in Iowa, who is running for the House seat being vacated by Rep. Ashley Hinson (R., Iowa).
“Joe Mitchell will be an unapologetic champion for lower taxes, fewer regulations, and America First policies that keep our country safe and free,” Jordan explained. “We need strong candidates in every corner of the country to protect the Republican majority, and Joe has proven he’s the right candidate for this critical race. I’m confident he can win both the Republican primary and the general election next year.”
Mitchell, for his part, said that “it’s an honor to earn the support of one of Congress’s most battle-tested conservatives. Congressman Jordan has fought — and won — some of the toughest battles on behalf of the American people. I’m proud to have his endorsement.”
Jordan’s endorsement of Mitchell comes after Mitchell has raised historic sums and rolled out a campaign team filled with alums of President Donald Trump’s campaigns. Both of those developments were first reported by the Reporter.
