Rep. Jim Jordan, who has represented Ohio’s 4th District in the U.S. Congress since 2007, recently addressed several national issues on social media. Jordan, a Republican legislator and former member of the Ohio House of Representatives and Ohio Senate, shared his perspectives on student athlete compensation, past intelligence briefings related to the Steele Dossier, and bipartisan acknowledgment of border concerns.

On July 10, 2025, Jordan highlighted legislative efforts regarding college athletics: “Sweeping bipartisan bill would nationalize standards for student athlete pay”. The post links to further details about proposed federal regulations aimed at standardizing compensation for student athletes across the United States.

The following day, July 11, 2025, Jordan referenced events from early 2017 involving high-ranking intelligence officials: “Remember what they did:

-Comey and Brennan went to Trump Tower in January 2017.

-They briefed President Trump on the Steele Dossier.

-The dossier that was paid for by the Clinton Campaign.

-The dossier that they knew was false.” The statement revisits controversies surrounding the origins and use of opposition research during the transition period after the 2016 presidential election.

On July 12, 2025, Jordan commented on evolving positions within Congress regarding immigration policy: “Even Democrats now admit that President Trump was completely right about the border crisis.” The message points to perceived shifts among Democratic lawmakers concerning assessments of border security challenges.

Jim Jordan was born in Troy, Ohio in 1964 and currently resides in Urbana. He graduated from the University of Wisconsin–Madison with a Bachelor of Science degree in 1986 and earned a Juris Doctor from Capital University.
