Congressman Jim Jordan's WITH NO Position on Climate Change

Republican Congressman Jim Jordan 

The Congressional Climate Change Reporting Project Congressmen Jim Jordan of the 14th district, could not give us a stance on climate change.

The project was to contact a congressman, ask for his position on climate change and request 3-5 minute Skype interview on this controversial topic. 

Darin Miller, Communications Director at Jordan's office denied a Skype interview after several attempts to contact him. 

         

"Unfortunately I don't think we can make this work at this time," Miller said.

After about 2 weeks, we did receive statement from Miller.

"Everyone agrees we need to prioritize economic growth while also promoting a clean environment," said Miller. 

Yet, still no comment on Jordan's position on Climate Change. 

According to Jordan's website, his opinion on energy and natural resources is, America is far too dependent on Mille East Oil.

The website goes on to say that America needs to use more of the oil and energy that we have here at home. However, still no statement on preventing climate change.

This project was extremely difficult for me to understand why elected official would be so negligent to respond to student journalist about this important topic. I learned that just because you act nice over the phone doesn't always get you as far as you need to go. I did however learn how to make a professional phone call and send a professional letter.
