For over a decade, I’ve worked towards a more reflective, multi-racial democracy.

Jordan James Harvill (Cherokee/Choctaw), is the Managing Partner at Catalytic Strategies, a boutique firm dedicated to building a more inclusive and reflective democracy through investment in organizations, leaders, and coalitions.

Jordan serves as the Sr. Director of National Programs for Advance Native Political Leadership, leading an ecosystem of power building organizations moving Native communities toward electoral and representational justice. 

He is the architect of the Native Leadership Institute, the first and only leadership program dedicated to recruiting and training Native leaders to run for office, and the Native Elected Leaders Network, a coalition of 400+ Native elected leaders at all levels of government. Jordan also is the network weaver and ecosystem builder for the Native Civic Lab, a cohort of Native-led, state-based civic engagement and advocacy organizations working together to build Native power in 8 states across the country.

Previously, Jordan served as founding Chief of Staff for VoteAmerica, as employee #1, designing the organizational infrastructure and operational cadence that scaled a $12.5M national voter turnout nonprofit from 2 to 30 employees in the span of less than a year ahead of the 2020 election.

Jordan has nearly a decade of experience in political strategy, voter mobilization, and campaign management spanning national organizations and candidate campaigns at every level of government. He serves on the boards of or as an advisor to VoteAmerica, VoteAmerica Action, Emergent Fund, Pipeline Fund, and LGBTQ+ Victory Fund.
