In this week’s episode, Jennifer welcomes Mica Jones, a U.S. Army veteran, attorney, and father of two young children who is running for Congress in Massachusetts’ 6th Congressional District. Mica is the sole Republican candidate in a crowded race against seven Democrats for the seat currently held by Representative Seth Moulton. With a background in military service and corporate law, Mica brings a commitment to public accountability and a passion for national security, family values, and bipartisan solutions.



Jennifer and Mica dive into urgent issues facing Massachusetts and the nation, including government transparency, the rising cost of living, and the impact of entrenched political figures. Mica outlines his priorities: banning congressional stock trading, enacting term limits, addressing national security in the age of AI, and making energy more affordable for families. Controversial topics such as insider trading allegations against current members of Congress, the problem of career politicians, and the need for a more representative government spark lively debate. Mica also discusses his unique ability to speak Spanish fluently, positioning him to reach new constituencies that Republicans have ignored. The episode tackles the emotional realities of campaigning with a newborn at home and the necessity of family support in public life.



“It’s about serving in the moment in which somebody is able to make the biggest impact possible and then returning to civilian life.” ~Mica Jones

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.
