I’m Jordan J. Herrera, an Air Force veteran, attorney, and former Assistant Attorney General who came up the hard way in a working-class Midwestern family. I learned early that real leadership is quiet resolve, showing up when it counts, listening first, and then doing the work to deliver results. I carried that ethic through nearly 16 years of service and into the courtroom, standing up for Missourians when the rules weren’t fair and the stakes were high. Now I’m running for Congress to bring that same steadiness to Missouri’s 5th: pragmatic solutions on cost of living, safer communities through common-sense policy, and a government that treats people with dignity. This is a youth-led, people-powered campaign because the future deserves a seat at the table—and because I believe our best days come when we widen the circle, build coalitions, and get things done.
