Kristin Richardson Jordan (born January 3, 1987)[2] is an American politician who was the Council member for New York City's 9th City Council district from 2022 to 2024.[3] Jordan identifies as a democratic socialist and police abolitionist. In her 2021 race for the New York City Council, she campaigned on a platform of "radical love."[4]
During her tenure on the New York City Council, she blocked a 1000 unit housing development (half of which were affordable housing) in her Harlem district, arguing it would cause gentrification. Instead, a large truck depot opened on the lot.
