Rep. Jim Jordan, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, endorsed Alaskan Nick Begich today for Congress.
“Nick Begich is a proven conservative, a successful businessman, and a passionate advocate for Alaska’s future. In Congress, Nick will be an America First champion. This race is critical to keeping the House and growing the Republican Majority. Now, more than ever, we need principled conservatives in Congress to take on the radical left’s dangerous ideas,” said Jordan, who serves Ohio in Congress.
Begich, who has the endorsement of the House Republican Majority, is taking on Rep. Mary Peltola, the far-left Democrat who now represents Alaska. His list of endorsements continues apace, and includes Speaker Mike Johnson, Rep. Byron Donalds, Rep. Elise Stefanik, Rep. Steve Scalise, Rep. Scott Perry, and Sen. Mike Lee.
Jordan has been one of Donald Trump’s most outspoken allies. He is a founding member of the House Freedom Caucus, which he chaired from 2015 to 2017. The House Freedom Caucus was an early endorser of Begich when he stepped into the race.
Peltola voted against Jordan for speaker in 2023, and voted instead for New York’s Rep. Hakeem Jeffries. She ended up casting 18 votes for Jeffries, who is the leader of the Democrats in Congress.
Jordan has been a fighter, while serving as chair of the Judiciary Committee, investigating social media companies for censoring conservatives and conservative accounts. Recently, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg sent a letter to Jordan, admitted that the Biden Administration had pressured Facebook and his other properties to censor people who wrote about Covid, if their opinions went against the government party line.
He has been a fighter against the weaponization of the government against everyday Americans.
