Jim Jordan-OH4 (R)

Homophobic and Anti‑Trans Actions

  • Marriage Ban Amendment (2015): Co‑sponsored a constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage and opposed Obergefell v. Hodges—the Supreme Court ruling that legalized same-sex marriage.
  • Equality Act Opposition: Consistently voted against federal protections for LGBTQ individuals, including the Equality Act.

Anti‑Diversity / Anti‑DEI Policies

  • DEI to DIE Act (H.R. 800, 2025): Sponsored a bill to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion programs across the federal government, an executive‑order codification dubbed “DEI to DIE.”

Anti‑Immigrant Stance

  • While there is no direct legislative record of anti‑immigrant bills sponsored by Jordan in recent years, his broader legislative footprint aligns with restrictive “America First” ideology. He has generally supported enforcement‑focused policies and opposed inclusive immigration reforms—consistent with his broader conservative stance.
