Growing up, Jenny's mom was a librarian and her dad, a Navy veteran worked his way through school as a night janitor at her elementary school. By the time she graduated high school, Jenny had attended 8 different schools across multiple states - including living on her grandfather's farm in Kentucky and in Wyoming on her grandma's small ranch. No matter where her family lived, Jenny saw firsthand how much her parents sacrificed for a better life for her and her brother.

 

Jenny is the proud mom of two, a strong environmental advocate, proud former union member and past Mayor Pro Tem of Northglenn City Council who has spent her career standing up for working families and advocating for clean air and water.

 

While on Northglenn City Council (2017-2023), Jenny worked to pass one of the state’s most generous municipal paid family leave programs; invested in critical city infrastructure; supported small businesses through the pandemic; delivered on affordable and senior housing options and led the charge to building the state's first all electric city hall, which opened in October 2024.

 

As our State Representative, Jenny has been effective in introducing and passing legislation that protects the rights of all Coloradans, supports working families, strengthens the continuum of care for older adults, improves our air quality and ensures that free menstrual products are available in every school across the state. She serves as the Vice Chair of the House Energy and Environment Committee and as a member of the State, Civic, Veterans and Military Affairs Committee. 

 

Jenny has a entrepreneurial spirit and the the owner of multiple small businesses. She holds a master’s degree in human rights and political science from the University of Manchester in the United Kingdom, as well as bachelor degrees in women’s studies and international studies from the University of Wyoming.

 

Jenny and her husband, Matt met in college and recently celebrated their 11 year wedding anniversary. They call Northglenn home with their 3 chickens, 2 dogs and 2 cats. In the summer you can find Jenny and her family fly fishing and exploring  all that Colorado has to offer with their 2 kids and two dogs, Ace and Hank.
