Jordan Wolman is a senior reporter at CommonWealth Beacon covering climate and energy issues in Massachusetts.
Before joining CommonWealth Beacon, Jordan spent four years at POLITICO in Washington, DC, where he covered the intersection of climate policy and business. His reporting took him from international UN plastic pollution negotiations in Ottawa, Canada, to beneath the spinning turbines of an offshore wind farm 27 miles off the coast of Virginia. Jordan focused on taking POLITICO subscribers inside the biggest climate policy debates, including breaking the news that President Joe Biden was planning to take executive action to significantly boost data center construction and that California air regulators were not planning to enforce a landmark state climate law in its first year in effect.
A New Jersey native, Jordan graduated from Lehigh University and launched the first investigative team at the school’s paper, The Brown and White.
