Jennifer is a lifelong rural Virginian running to represent the 25th district in the Virginia House of Delegates. For too long rural communities across the commonwealth have been devalued and ignored. Jennifer is prepared to go to Richmond to fight for the prioritization that all rural and marginalized communities deserve.

Rural broadband, healthcare access, and equitable funding for schools are just a few of Jennifer's priorities. As a Community Organizer, Jennifer has fought for Medicare for All, Common-Sense Gun Legislation, Immigrant Rights, and Criminal Justice Reform.

Jennifer currently works as a program mentor for the Arc of Augusta, where she helps develop programming and supports adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

  • We need rural broadband, because reliable internet is an absolutely essential service for participating in our society.

  • Healthcare should be available to everyone who needs it.
  • Rural public schools need funding from Richmond so that every student has a chance.
If elected, I am ready to go to Richmond and be the progressive voice rural communities have needed for decades. Rural Virginia can't wait. Our communities need a substantial investment by the Commonwealth to provide overdue improvements to infrastructure, healthcare access, broadband internet service, and educational opportunities to make them sustainable. As a member of the majority party I know I will be able to affect the change we desperately need.
