In this week’s episode, Jennifer celebrates a major milestone as she marks her 200th episode. Jennifer is a political strategist, attorney, and founder of the Pocketbook Project, an organization dedicated to supporting women who run for office and empowering conservative women to have their voices heard. With over three decades of experience in politics, Jennifer has frequently appeared on television and radio and is known for her unfiltered take on current events, her advocacy for Republican women in blue states, and her commitment to honest political conversations.

Reflecting on the genesis of Political Contessa, Jennifer shares how the show was born out of her desire to tackle issues important to women in politics, especially conservative voices often marginalized in liberal states. In this episode, she delivers a passionate, unvarnished recounting of the most impactful political and cultural events from 2021 to 2026, including the pandemic, controversial mandates, the overturning of Roe v. Wade, January 6th, political violence, and shifts in global leadership. She addresses hot-button topics such as vaccine mandates, partisan media bias, assaults on free speech, and the effects of AI on the job market. Jennifer also pays tribute to guests and episodes that have made a lasting impression and makes pointed, controversial observations on the state of American politics, the Democratic Party, and how debate and civility have been eroded in recent years.
