Jordan Wood Endorses Troy Jackson for U.S. Senate

Former Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Jordan Wood announced his support for Troy Jackson on July 24, 2026, ahead of a Democratic delegate vote scheduled for Saturday. Wood, who previously served as chief of staff to Rep. Katie Porter and vice president of End Citizens United, urged delegates to back Jackson based on his tenure as Senate president.

Wood emphasized Jackson's history of challenging pharmaceutical companies and utilities, specifically highlighting his efforts to lower insulin costs and protect living wages. He also noted that Jackson refuses corporate PAC money.

Addressing Jackson's legislative history, Wood pointed to the candidate's evolution on social issues. He cited Jackson's eventual support for same-sex marriage following a 2009 vote against it, as well as his current support for red flag laws designed to prevent gun violence.
