A lifelong New Yorker and resident of Central Harlem, Jordan graduated from Syracuse University in 2017 with a degree in psychology. After college, Jordan worked as an educator in multiple Manhattan schools, serving as a trusted mentor to countless students, with many of whom he continues to stay in close touch.

In that capacity, Jordan focused on delivering strong constituent services before resigning to take his seat in the Assembly in January 2025. Jordan is the son of former Assemblyman Keith L.T. Wright and the grandson of former New York Supreme Court Judge Bruce Wright. He is a member of St. Phillip’s Episcopal Church and is a longtime Knicks, Jets, and Yankees fan.
