My Name is Jordan Chessher. I’m a husband, a father of six children ranging from a newborn to seventeen, and a working Kansan who has spent nearly twenty years in aviation manufacturing and quality control. I currently work as a Quality Inspector at Boeing, where attention to detail, accountability, and doing things the right way are not optional. In my line of work, people’s safety depends on the quality of your work. That responsibility has shaped how I approach my job, my family, and my service to the community.

I was born and raised in Kansas in a working-class family that believed in faith, hard work, personal responsibility, and serving others. Those values stayed with me. Today, my wife and I are raising our children with those same principles because strong families and strong communities do not happen by accident.

Like many families in District 103, my life revolves around work, raising kids, paying bills, and trying to build a stable future. I understand the pressures families face because I live them too. I know what it means to work hard, carry responsibility, and want better opportunities for your children than you had yourself.

Outside of work, I serve as president of Project Heaven, a grassroots advocacy effort focused on protecting children and strengthening families across Kansas. Through that work, I have spent time at the Statehouse meeting with lawmakers, studying policy, and testifying on legislation aimed at improving child protection laws. It has also shown me how important it is for Kansas to strengthen accountability and improve outcomes in the child welfare and foster care system.

I’m running for Kansas House District 103 because I believe this community deserves practical, honest leadership rooted in real life, not politics as usual. I’m not running for a title or a political career. I’m running because this district needs a representative who understands work, family, accountability, and the everyday struggles people are facing.

If elected, I will focus on safer neighborhoods, stronger protection for children, housing stability for working families, and greater support for jobs, skilled trades, and career opportunities. The people of this district work hard every day to provide for their families. They deserve safe streets, strong schools, a justice system that protects victims, and a government that respects their tax dollars.

I believe Kansas must take child protection seriously, support early intervention for struggling children and families, and strengthen systems that are supposed to keep kids safe. I believe our state should continue supporting manufacturing, skilled trades, and workforce development so young people can build stable lives right here in Wichita. I believe homeowners should not be taxed out of the homes they worked hard to build, and hardworking families who rent deserve fairness, stability, and the chance to build toward a better future.

I also believe trust matters. People deserve leaders who tell the truth, do the work, and take responsibility for their decisions. The same way I approach my job and my family is how I would approach public office: with honesty, consistency, and accountability. Public service is a responsibility, and the people of this district deserve someone who will remember who sent him there.

At the end of the day, I’m not coming from politics. I’m coming from the shop floor, from raising a family, and from seeing firsthand what working people are up against. I’m ready to get to work for District 103 from day one.

As a father, a worker, and a community advocate, I care deeply about the future of this district and this state. I believe we can build safer communities, stronger families, and greater opportunity for the next generation. That’s the perspective I would bring to the Kansas Statehouse.
