Prior to his election to the legislature, Sturdy served as mayor of Pemberton for eight years.
On June 12, 2017, he was appointed to Cabinet as Minister of the Environment. Since 2022, he has served as the Shadow Minister for BC Ferries, Fisheries & Aquaculture.
In the 2020 British Columbia general election, he was initially declared defeated in his riding by Jeremy Valeriote of the British Columbia Green Party, but won reelection by just 41 votes once all mail-in and absentee ballots had been counted. A judicial recount was held due to the small margin of victory, which affirmed Sturdy's 41 vote lead.
In January 2024, Jordan Sturdy announced that he would not seek a fourth term as an MLA in the upcoming provincial election.
