The House of Representatives is moving toward nominating a speaker this week, with two front-runners emerging in the battle for the chamber’s top role.
His ties run deep in the Republican conference, sitting as chairman of the House Judiciary Committee and Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government. He’s a member of the Committee on Oversight and Accountability and remains the longest-serving Freedom Caucus member. Jordan has been widely criticized by Democrats and others for being a staunch Trump defender and pushing to investigate the 2020 election, refusing to denounce voter fraud claims peddled by Trump.
He graduated from Louisiana State University, where he studied computer science. Scalise married Jennifer Ann Letulle nearly 20 years ago and has two children.
