Jordan Eldridge has been in the political arena since he was elected and sworn in as De Anza College’s Student Trustee to the Foothill De Anza Community College District (FHDA) Board of Trustees in June of 2007. He has been fascinated with the political process, public service, and public policy since middle school, but it wasn’t until working on then-FHDA Trustee Paul Fong’s successful election to the California State Assembly when Jordan became actively involved in local politics.  

Jordan has worked on dozens of campaigns, worked for two California State Assembly members and a State Representative in Massachusetts; worked for the Santa Clara Valley Water District in Local and Regional Government Relations; has worked for a labor union as an organizer; represents the Santa Clara County Democratic Party on the Executive Board of the California Democratic Party; and is a Local Board Member of the United States Selective Service System. He was also elected to serve on the governing board of the Rancho Rinconada Recreation and Park District from 2010-2013 and appointed to fill a vacancy on the same board in 2019.  

Jordan received his Master of Public Administration degree from Northeastern University, was inducted into Pi Sigma Alpha – the National Political Science Honor Society, and decided to codify his experience by opening up his own political consulting firm in December 2018.
