Brian Jordan Launches Independent Campaign for Maryland's 5th District
Candidate for MD Congress Kickoff Party, 5th District. Don't Miss It!
HOLLYWOOD, Md. — Naval veteran and local business owner Brian Jordan is officially launching his independent campaign for Maryland’s 5th Congressional District with a community kickoff party on Thursday, October 9, at the Port of Leonardtown Winery.
The event, which is free and open to the public, will begin at 6:30 p.m. and feature food, live music, and entertainment. It offers residents an opportunity to meet Jordan, a father of four from Southern Maryland, and learn about his platform in a relaxed, community-focused setting.
"I’m not tied to party agendas — I’m focused on listening to our communities and delivering real solutions,” Jordan said in a statement. His campaign aims to inject a fresh perspective into a district represented by incumbent Democrat Steny Hoyer since 1981.
The kickoff serves as the formal start of Jordan's push to get on the 2026 ballot, a process that requires independents in Maryland to gather 2,000 signatures from registered voters. His platform centers on addressing local challenges he believes are overlooked by partisan politics.
“I believe the current system is not working for everyone,” Jordan stated. “From schools that are not fully funded to roads in need of repair, from small businesses that are struggling to neighbors who feel unheard, I want to bring solutions that reflect the needs of the people.”
The choice of the Port of Leonardtown Winery, a symbol of the region’s growing agritourism, underscores his commitment to supporting Southern Maryland's diverse economy. Jordan positions himself as an advocate for small businesses, aiming to reduce regulatory hurdles and improve access to capital.
The 5th Congressional District encompasses all of Calvert, Charles, and St. Mary’s counties, along with parts of Anne Arundel and Prince George’s counties. While the district has a strong Democratic leaning, Jordan hopes his message of unity and practical, people-first solutions will resonate with voters frustrated by political gridlock.
Those interested in attending the kickoff event are encouraged to RSVP by emailing [email protected] or calling 240-925-4341. Donations to the campaign can be made at www.brianjordanforcongress.com.
