An update from our January filing.
I think the Dark Brandon shades really add something to the Benjamins. Composition by JD Jordan.
As a first-time candidate, this whole campaign and election process is new—from meetings at IHOPs and living rooms across the district to the legal reporting that keeps my data-entry game fresh. 🧐
Georgia’s State Ethics Commission requires candidates and incumbents to report all contributions, expenditures, loans, and investments on a rolling basis. In non-election years, these filings are only required twice a year. But in election years—like this one!—they’re required at the ends of January, April, June, and September.
Fortunately, this reporting gives candidates and the public alike a peek under the hood of political campaigns at every level in the state. And for us, a few bragging points!
With almost all of our fundraising to-date consolidated into a few weeks at the end of January, we’re thrilled to report our campaign received 88 financial contributions—82% of which came from in-state donors!
What’s more, 100% of our one-time and recurring donations came from individual donors—with contributions ranging from $5 to $1,000! Compare that to our opponent who—with many more months of fundraising preceding us, received only 27% of his contributions from individual donors. Unsurprisingly, his campaign depends on the 73% of contributions he received from corporate and foundational donors (and 26% of these donations came from out-of-state entities!).
My team and I are even celebrating that our opponent felt the need to loan his campaign and additional $200,000. I guess this means we have his attention. 😇
Thank you to everyone who chipped in and who believes—as I do—that it’s time for change in the 56!
If you’re one of our campaign donors, you’ll receive an email this week with these and some other updates. And if you’re not a donor yet, I’ve got an easy fix for that…
JD JORDAN FOR GEORGIA STATE SENATE DISTRICT 56
For anyone in East Cobb, Roswell, or Woodstock alarmed by the state’s escalating attacks on our bodies, our families, our doctors’ offices, our classrooms and libraries, even our polling places, I’m running for state senate district 56 to fight for our freedoms and to deliver a better future for everyone in Georgia.
And unlike my opponent who’s spent 14 years rolling back our freedoms, failing to safeguard our kids, and gerrymandered his district to stay in office, I promise to bring everyone in the 56—regardless of ideology—the best possible constituent experience so you feel heard, valued, and supported. As we all deserve to be.
I’m running for the 56. Let’s make a better Georgia for all of us.
