Jim Jordan (United States politics)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

James Jordan is an American political figure. During 2002 and 2003, he was the campaign manager of John Kerry, running for President of the United States. However, he was fired and replaced with Mary Beth Cahill in November of 2003; the widespread media perception was that Kerry was dissatisfied with his position in the race (at the time, he trailed Howard Dean in polls and fundraising, though he went on to win the nomination; see 2004 Democratic primary).

Following his departure from the Kerry campaign, Jordan worked for America Coming Together, a 527 group supporting Kerry.

He was also the Campaign Manager for Senator Chris Dodd during his run for the Democratic nomination in 2007. Dodd dropped out of the race on January 3, 2008, after receiving only 1% of the Iowa caucus vote.
