Jordan Lopez

Jordan is a proud native of East Charlotte, North Carolina, where he was raised alongside his sister by a devoted mother who instilled in them the values of compassion, integrity, and dedication. A product of Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools, Jordan credits his educators and community mentors with shaping his deep-rooted passion for public service. He earned a bachelor’s degree in political science from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and went on to graduate Magna Cum Laude with a Master of Public Administration from North Carolina Central University. In a historic achievement, Jordan assumed public office at the age of 26, becoming the youngest Black man elected to the North Carolina State House since the Reconstruction era—and the youngest Democrat currently serving in the General Assembly. Jordan continues to be a tireless advocate for equity, youth empowerment, and community advancement across the state he proudly calls home.
