"Jennifer
has found that as a woman, she is faced with incredibly
different hurdles from those of her male counterparts.
"The roles of caretaker, wife, and mother are social
pressures that are not easily incorporated into my busy
career. [Yet,] I have made it my life's work to be a
political advocate. [
] The political process has
greatly affected my life and how I lead it. I work to
ensure that every person I represent has his or her
voice heard in the decision-making process at all levels
of government."
