RECOGNIZING JORDAN DASHOW AND HIS SERVICE TO THE HOUSE COMMITTEE ON THE 
                               JUDICIARY

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. JERROLD NADLER

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 15, 2022

  Mr. NADLER. Madam Speaker, I rise to thank Jordan Dashow for his 
service to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
  Jordan received his bachelor's degree from Tufts University and began 
his career in public policy as a Legislative Assistant with the 
Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism. After a further three years 
of civil and human rights advocacy as a Federal Policy Manager with the 
Human Rights Campaign, Jordan joined the Judiciary Committee as a 
Professional Staff Member in 2019.
  Jordan supported the full committee's senior staff and me directly. 
As part of my administrative team, Jordan innovated and systematized 
many areas of personnel management. Over time, Jordan's duties grew to 
include helping me prepare for the weekly meeting of Committee Chairs. 
He contributed to countless projects with keen research, writing, and 
policy analysis.
  Jordan also worked closely with the Subcommittee on the Constitution, 
Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties. Building on his past experience with 
the legislation as an advocate, Jordan contributed significantly to our 
work on the Equality Act which passed the House both in the previous 
Congress and this Congress. Jordan also supported the Subcommittee's 
efforts on reproductive rights issues, church and state issues, and 
anti-Muslim and anti-Asian discrimination issues. Reflecting our high 
regard for his work, Jordan assisted Counsel in preparing Committee 
Members for the markup of the PRESS Act and wrote the initial draft of 
the committee report for the CROWN Act.
  Finally, Jordan played an integral role in the growth and development 
of our Committee internship program, an essential source of substantive 
support for myself and the Committee staff. As a coordinator of the 
program, Jordan successfully advocated for interns to receive pay, well 
before that became the norm, and managed professional development 
programming such as detailed orientations and our weekly Intern Speaker 
Series. Furthermore, Jordan always worked to ensure that my commitment 
to diversity, equity, and inclusion was reflected in our intern hiring 
practices and culture. He is already remembered as a determined 
advocate and committed mentor by the many classes of interns that he 
shepherded through our Committee, and I am grateful to Jordan for 
helping make our internship program one of the strongest on Capitol 
Hill.
  For three years, I have been fortunate to count Jordan among my 
staff. I, and the American people, have greatly benefited from his 
passion for public service, his intellect, and his commitment to 
excellence. Jordan has all the qualities of an excellent staffer and 
the clear potential to be a great lawyer when he graduates from 
Georgetown Law in the coming years. We will greatly miss Jordan as he 
embarks on the next chapter of his career on Capitol Hill.
  We thank Jordan Dashow for his service to the Committee and wish him 
the best of luck with this new chapter.
