Jordan (OH-ALEC) and Much More!!!

Jim Jordan – OHIO Congressman

Jim Jordan – ALEC Alum

Jim Jordan - Republican Study Committee Chairman

After generating months of controversy for its championing of right-wing policies in state houses, the American Legislative Exchange Council is turning to the federal level. On Friday, the Heritage Foundation will host a policy gathering for both current ALEC members and the RepublicanStudy Committee -- a group of staunchly conservative House Republicans -- in hopes of beginning a partnership between the two organizations.

A senior GOP aide told Roll Call that the meeting could be the first of many aimed at exploring how conservatives at the federal and state levels could work together to further their policy aims. At least 18 state representatives and six House members are expected to attend, including RSC Chairman and former ALEC member Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio).
