ELECT A LIFELONG EDUCATOR.
SAVE PUBLIC EDUCATION!
“Education is the foundation for all we do in life, it shapes who we are and what we aspire to be. ”
- Governor James B. Hunt
A public education should be the ultimate opportunity for every child in North Carolina, no matter what neighborhood they live in, or what they want to be when they grow up. That can't happen without smart, equitable investment in our diverse school communities."

Jen has spent the majority of her life in public school classrooms- and she wouldn't have it any other way. Jen's number-one priority is to protect our schools from corrosive private interests, and legislators who would deny some children their constitutional right to a free, high-quality education. For Jen, public education is nothing less than a pillar of democracy.
FOLLOW JEN TODAY!
Jen knows public education is the best choice for everyone, because public education is public empowerment!
Jen knows that robust, equitable investment in our public education system — as well as a genuine, state-wide commitment to the empowerment of ALL students, educators, and school personnel — is absolutely necessary to ensure shared social progress in North Carolina. A free, high-quality public education is every child's constitutional right, but not only that; free, high-quality public education is a necessary investment in democracy and our collective future. Public education is a universal solution to widespread disinformation, disengagement, and division.
