MEET JORDAN THOMAS
Jordan Thomas is a public servant, organizer, and project manager who has dedicated his career to building stronger communities and more accountable government. He’s seen City Hall from the inside, worked alongside working families fighting for dignity, and now leads projects that will shape America’s energy future.
As Chief of Staff to Council Members Amanda Edwards and Dr. Letitia Plummer, Jordan learned how to navigate bureaucracy and cut through bottlenecks to deliver for Houstonians. Today, as a Project Manager at Grid United, he helps lead efforts to unite the nation’s power grids — advancing projects that improve reliability, strengthen infrastructure, and lower costs for families.
Jordan’s roots in advocacy run deep. Before his work in energy and local government, he was a union organizer with SEIU, helping hospital workers win fair wages and better benefits. He’s carried that commitment to fairness and equity into every chapter of his career. He has also served on the Board of Directors of LINK Houston, working to expand equitable transportation access, and on the Board of the ACLU of Texas, defending civil rights and liberties across the state.
A Houstonian at Heart
Jordan was raised with a commitment to service and leadership. He attended St. John’s School in Houston and later graduated from the University of Miami, experiences that sharpened his understanding of both local roots and global perspectives.
Today, Jordan and his family call Montrose home. He lives there with his wife and their young son, and like so many Houston families, they are deeply invested in the city’s future. Outside of work and public service, Jordan is an avid cyclist, often seen on Houston’s bike trails, and a hunter, spending time outdoors where he finds balance and focus.
Why He’s Running
Jordan’s journey — from union halls to City Hall, from the neighborhoods of Houston to the national grid — has given him the perspective and skills to deliver “infrastructure for people.” He knows that infrastructure is not just roads and pipes, but housing, safety, equity, and accountability.
With his blend of policy expertise, hands-on leadership, and a deep personal stake in Houston’s future, Jordan is ready to fight for a city that works for everyone.
