Jennifer Barbosa, a proud Floridian and constitutional conservative, has a clear vision for Florida's 15th Congressional District. Committed to putting Americans first, she believes that Congress must secure America's borders before sending additional tax dollars to foreign countries. She is dedicated to promoting economic growth, energy independence, and safeguarding our individual liberties.

Jennifer has voted for President Donald Trump in every election since the 2016 Primary and will continue supporting him throughout the 2024 campaign and beyond because America and her allies are better off with Donald Trump as President.

She is running to replace Laurel Lee in FL-15, which includes parts of Tampa, Lakeland, and Brandon, Zephyrhills, Plant City, Temple Terrace, Lutz, Wesley Chapel, Mango, Dover, Thonotosassa and more.
