Jordan Pride, President

Jordan Allie Pride is a Florida native, originally from Daytona Beach, Fl. She’s a 2016 graduate of the University of South Florida obtaining a bachelor’s of Political Science from the university. Pride has been involved with campaigns and election since before she could vote herself however understanding, early on, the deep necessity of African Americans being civically engaged to institute any real change. Out of 18, Jordan has been a part of campaigns ranging from local to national offices in direct and coordinated capacities. In 2017 she was hired as a regional Community Engagement Specialist for the Florida Democratic Party where her field specialty ended in a solid win for Rick Kriseman for Mayor of St. Petersburg and Margaret Good for State House in Sarasota. In 2018, Jordan was hired as the statewide Data Director for non-profit NextGen America, which was the largest youth program the state of Florida had ever seen, mobilizing students across 40 different college campuses. Of the 13 program states, Pride was one of three minorities and the only African American woman hired on the national data team. Most recently in 2019, Jordan became co-owner of veteran political consulting firm Parsons Wilson, their unprecedented work and historic wins dating back to 1981. Under new ownership, PW consulting is one of very few minority owned political consulting businesses in the state. In this past federal election cycle, the firm took on 7 races ranging from city council to the state legislature and successfully elected 4 to office. One of which was historic in maintaining the only “minority” seat held on the Pinellas County school board by electing Board Member Caprice Edmond.

Jordan’s local community engagement included serving as Regional Director for Hillsborough County Democratic Executive Committee, member of the Tampa Metropolitan Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Incorporated where she serves as co-chair of the social action committee. She is also involved with Hillsborough Young Black Professionals, and a proud five-year member of Hillsborough County Democratic Black Caucus. In 2019, Pride was elected as the youngest Black Caucus chapter president in the state of Florida of 28 chapters, being sworn in at only 24 years of age. Jordan’s passion for electing good, qualified, and just candidates runs deep especially when it comes to mobilizing minority communities that are historically left out of the conversation.
