“I am running for mayor, so that I can help move Southfield Forward as we take on the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead,” said Jordan. “We stand today as a city with great people, welcoming businesses and eminent potential and I am ready to step up to mantle of leadership as this city’s next mayor.”
As part of the announcement, Council President Jordan outlined her plan for moving Southfield Forward. The plan includes: strengthening communities, enhancing the city’s international business address while supporting small businesses and entrepreneurs, creating a vibrant, welcoming city and keeping the city fiscally strong and connected.
