She delivers solutions rooted in the “how and why” of policy and the political process.

Jenn was also chief of staff for the Agency for Health Care Administration, which oversees the state’s Medicaid program.

Nationally, Jenn’s political experience spans more than a dozen states and includes work with the Republican National Committee and the National Republican Senatorial Committee. During Gov.
