was a highly influential adviser to Jimmy Carter during the latter's successful 1976 U.S. presidential campaign and later served as chief of staff in the Carter administration. Jordan helped guide Carter's political career from the early stages, volunteering on his unsuccessful 1966 gubernatorial bid in Georgia and managing Carter's victorious bid for the governor's office four years later. The top campaign strategist for Carter in 1976, Jordan was subsequently named as domestic adviser to the president. He was appointed chief of staff in 1979, assuming responsibilities on the foreign policy front. After Carter was defeated by Ronald Reagan in the 1980 U.S. presidential election, Jordan remained actively involved in politics. He published Crisis: The Last Year of the Carter Presidency (1982) and ran unsuccessfully for the U.S. Senate in 1986. He later worked on independent candidate Ross Perot's 1992 presidential bid and helped found a bipartisan reform movement called Unity08. In 2000 Jordan published No Such Thing as a Bad Day: A Memoir, which recounted his long battle with cancer and offered advice to other cancer patients.
