About Jenna
Jenna was raised in the Chicago area by working-class parents. When the local school budget was slashed, Jenna’s family moved to an area they struggled to afford so the kids could get a better education. This cemented education as central to Jenna’s life and she is proudly “public school made” for her K-12 education, her undergraduate degree, and both of her Master’s degrees.
“I have seen firsthand the impact that inadequate healthcare can have – but I’ve also seen the impact that quality, affordable healthcare for all can have, and will work hard to make it available for all of Rhode Island’s families.”
