“I want to keep going and see what else we’re going to do in the next four years,” Jordal, 34, said.

Jordal moved to Austin after he graduated college to take a job at Robert’s Specialty Co. (now Old 218). His hometown is Forest City, Iowa, and has lived in Austin for the past 12 years with his wife Kate and three-year-old son Griffin.

Since then, he’s been involved with Rotaract and organized Austi-Con, a gaming convention that was recently held in Austin and raised $1,253 for the Hormel Historic Home’s autism day camps.

“I want to continue being a voice on the council,” Jordal said.
