Immigration & Border
Supports securing the border through targeted technology and personnel at ports of entry while expanding legal pathways and reforms. Endorses a clear, earned pathway to citizenship, permanent status and pathway to citizenship for DACA recipients, and expanded work visa programs. Opposes open borders and mass deportation without due process and calls for hiring more immigration judges and modernizing the legal system.
Climate & Energy
Supports investment in clean energy technologies (solar, wind, advanced systems), strengthening the grid, domestic clean-energy manufacturing, and worker-focused clean-energy jobs; endorses advanced nuclear (small modular reactors) as part of a clean-energy strategy.
Public Safety & Guns
The candidate’s campaign platform says he will work to improve public safety and ensure first responders have the resources they need, but it does not state specific positions on firearm policy (for example: background checks, assault weapons bans, or red flag laws).
News
Jordan Herrera is in the news because Missouri is moving ahead with its 2026 House primary under a newly drawn congressional map, even though the map’s legal status is still being challenged. That means candidates could be nominated in August under one set of districts and then face a different map in the November election. The dispute is still unresolved, so the final district lines remain uncertain.
