Jennifer Jenkins
Jumpin' Jenkins. She'll run for anything.
In eight months, Jennifer Jenkins ran for three different jobs. First the U.S. Senate. Then a House seat in Daytona. Then, after the map changed, our seat here in Brevard. She does not even know where she wants to run. She just wants you to pay her salary.
The timeline
Senate. Then Daytona. Then Brevard.
It is what happened.
She announces she is running for U.S. Senate.
She quits the Senate race and backs Alexander Vindman instead.
She announces she is running for Congress in the Daytona Beach area, Florida's 6th District, against Randy Fine.
The new map comes out. She switches to Brevard's district, Florida's 8th, and says "the district is my home."
"Jennifer 'Jumpin' Jenkins" is "shopping for a seat."
Evan Power, chairman of the Republican Party of Florida, as quoted by the Florida Phoenix, May 5, 2026
Her answer is that this district is her home. Fair enough. But she asked voters in the whole state for a job first, then voters near Daytona Beach, and came here only after the lines moved.
Jennifer Jenkins is running for herself, not for the Space Coast.
