Jenkins is an educator and mother who gained national attention after winning a school board race in a traditionally conservative district, defeating the co-founder of Moms for Liberty. Her campaign and victory drew widespread interest as debates over public education, parental involvement and political influence in schools intensified across the country.

After her election, Jenkins went on to help launch Educated We Stand, a grassroots organization that supports public education and works to address the impact of political extremism on schools and families nationwide. Through the organization, she has focused on advocacy, community organizing and amplifying the voices of parents and educators.

Club leaders say Jenkins’ experience offers valuable insight into how local school board races can carry national significance. Her presentation is expected to touch on her journey as a candidate, the challenges she faced and the broader lessons learned about community engagement and protecting public education.
