 

After spending years as the only woman in rooms full of political power players, I’ve picked up more than a few things about messaging, bravado, and what actually lands with voters. If you’re craving someone who cuts through the noise with sarcasm, honesty, and zero patience for posturing, you’re in the right place.



Let’s call it like it is Trump changed the game with his snark and sharp comebacks, and now politicians like Gavin Newsom are trying to play copycat instead of offering something new. Both parties, in my view, are failing to deliver the grown-up leadership and serious candidates we all deserve. Instead, we’re bombarded by social media wars, distractions about cultural issues, and nonstop grandstanding. It’s time for our political discourse to move past the childish antics and get back to candidates who focus on policy, substance, and real solutions.



“Don’t act like an arrogant asshole. Don’t act like a child. Don’t act like we should put you in, you two in a sandbox.” ~Jennifer



This Week on Political Contessa:
The rise of snark and sarcasm in political messaging
How Trump’s style turned American political talk on its head
Why Newsom’s imitation game just isn’t working
My frustration with the lack of serious leaders from both parties
How Democrats are losing voters by focusing on cultural wedge issues
Why we need a new wave of policy-driven candidates
Stories from being the only woman shaking things up in political meetings
Why it’s time to demand maturity and real leadership, for once

Women on the right need a safe space to discuss politics, policy, news, and ownership over the fact that it is ok to agree to disagree. It is our First Amendment right to free speech. Before we can even out the number of women in our local, state, & federal governments, we need to empower women to feel comfortable and confident discussing these and other topics.

My name is Jennifer. I’m a single mom of three girls living in Boston. I’m a lawyer with two political science degrees, and I have no problem talking politics with people who disagree with me.

I spent three years as the Chairman of the Massachusetts GOP and ran for the very liberal Boston City Council. I’m a frequent analyst on Newsmax, Fox News Radio, and Boston Media. As a Republican in a blue state, I know a few things about how to disagree agreeably.
