Jennifer fights for Florida’s families and local businesses. She strives in each session and with each piece of legislation that she sponsors to make a real difference in the lives of her neighbors. She works tirelessly to find common sense solutions that will garner strong support from both Republicans and Democrats. This is in part why she was voted one of the most successful freshman legislators.

This is absolutely why she runs: “I know there are things I can do each session to make a big difference in the lives of my constituents…our families and local businesses deserve someone who will fight hard and smart for them. My family could have used this fighter when I was a kid.”

A week before her second birthday, her father died when his motorcycle was hit by a truck after coming home from the third shift. With help of an expansive family and a constellation of Catholic nuns and teachers, Jennifer’s mother raised her and her brother while fighting to retain minimum-wage, entry-level secretarial jobs to provide for her children. Jennifer understood at an early age how small changes made big differences in the peace of mind of her mother and in her mom’s ability to provide for them. This understanding - plus intense gratitude for the community that raised her, is the reason why she now strives each and every day to give back to our community.

Jennifer gives back to our community by tackling some of the most pressing problems for our families. Jennifer began her career at the intersection of workforce and economic development. She attracted employers to lower income communities and got people in these communities the skills they needed to do these jobs. She also developed training programs that would lead to higher skill and higher paid jobs, so people weren’t stuck in entry-level positions. 

After earning her Masters from University of South Florida, Jennifer  taught faculty members how to conduct research with the community and how to teach hands-on classes that help Tampa Bay area residents. As the Director of Community Partnerships, Jennifer built projects that brought together businesses, the university, non-profits, and residents to create stronger communities. Through these projects, she worked to reduce violence and increase employment, to eliminate hunger, to bring justice to victims of crime and abuse of power, to assist student veterans and military members, and to support high quality public schools and the children who attend them.

Jennifer is now a small business owner in the private sector. Yet, she still brings together different sectors to solve some of our most pressing problems. She helped businesses expand so they can hire additional employees and/or secure a brick-and-mortar presence in our community. Jennifer is currently focused on finding and promoting solutions to transportation/traffic, affordable housing, green and tech innovation, and community health.  

Jennifer was elected in 2018 to the Florida House to represent district 69. She has been voted one of the most effective Freshman legislators. During her first term 2/3 of her policy solutions became law and she was able secure $3.25 million in the budget for infrastructure and education projects.

Jennifer is most proud of the fact that she did what she promised voters she would do. After listening to her neighbors, local business owners, and our families in HD69, Jennifer crafted her campaign promises (which she then pasted on her mailers). Once she won, she translated these promises into policy solutions that she worked tirelessly to pass for district 69. She was effective at protecting our waterways, expanding career/technical education, increasing access to mental health care and long term care, and standing up for consumers.

Jennifer Webb is running to be re-elected State Representative of House District 69 so she can continue to fight for the interests of all of Florida's families, to restore control to our local communities, and to champion our local businesses.
