NEW YORK, NY, February 10, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Amy Jordan has officially announced her grassroots campaign for the United States Congress in New York's 12th District. "We are all living in a state of global trauma, a crisis of consciousness. I am running for Congress to bring a fresh, unbiased, humanistic voice and new leadership that truly represents the people," Jordan stated. She emphasizes that her campaign is dedicated to uplifting those who feel unheard and overlooked, stating, "Together, we're building a movement powered by honesty, integrity, and accountability."

Jordan's campaign is rooted in listening to everyday residents and advancing solutions that directly impact their lives. Her platform centers on three core priorities:

Healthcare: Protect and expand access to affordable, high-quality healthcare so no family is forced to choose between taking care and paying the bills. Reform the system to reward better patient outcomes, rein in runaway prescription costs, and put medical decisions back where they belong with patients and their doctors, not insurance companies or corporate middlemen.

Education: Invest in strong public schools, support teachers and staff, and give students the skills they need to succeed in today's economy without saddling them with a lifetime of debt. Education should open doors, not close them.

Economy: Build an economy that works for working families by backing small businesses, growing good-paying jobs, and lowering everyday costs. When local businesses thrive and people can afford to live where they work, communities grow stronger.

Join Amy Jordan in her mission to establish a representative government that serves the people of New York's 12th District. To find out more about her campaign and discover ways to get involved, visit www.amyjforcongress.com.
