Bill Jordan, a longtime lobbyist at the Roundhouse, is retiring after 26 years with the nonprofit New Mexico Voices for Children. Throughout his career, Jordan has been dedicated to advocating for issues affecting young people.
Jordan acknowledges that the term "lobbyist" often carries negative connotations. "There are those lobbyists that you wonder how they sleep at night," he told The New Mexican. However, he expresses no regrets about his tenure with the organization.
Jordan emphasized that working with New Mexico Voices for Children allowed him to maintain his principles. "I never had to compromise my values," he said. He also reflected on the personal fulfillment he derived from his work: "It gave me the opportunity to be my best self."
