U.S. Rep. Jordan to seek House leadership slot; mum on possible U.S. Senate bid
U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Urbana, said he is focusing his efforts on becoming chairman of the Republican Study Committee, a group of conservative lawmakers, in the new session of Congress.
Jordan, who was re-elected on Tuesday, has been the subject of speculation about a possible 2012 U.S. Senate race aimed at unseating U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, who is expected to seek a second term.
Jordan said that he understands the importance of the Senate race but that’s not what he’s thinking about now.
“We are totally focused on the work we’ve got to do,” said Jordan. That work includes stopping any tax increases and repealing the overhaul of the health care system, Jordan said.
