Jen Franklin has earned the endorsement of our education partners at The Virginia Voter Guide, which we have included below. You can also learn more about her on her website here.
Jen Franklin has called Hampton Roads home since 1989. She came here with the military but stayed because of her love for Virginia Beach and its community. Having worked for many years as a single mom, she understands the rigors of balancing work, raising kids, and supporting the teachers that work with our children every day. Jen has served on the Virginia Beach School Board since 2021. Her passion for supporting the division started over 25 years ago. She worked with the schools through the PTSA, and she spent the last four years of her involvement with PTSA on the Kempsville High School board serving as President. For over 20 years, she served as a Naval Reservist (retired), Small Business Owner, Fitness Instructor, Coach/Trainer, and Career Mortgage Banker in the Hampton Roads area. Born in Korea and then adopted into a hard-working family in Pennsylvania, Jennifer has a great appreciation for everything that this country offers and the opportunities it holds. She never takes that for granted and will work hard to continue to make positive strides on the School Board. She looks at every issue with a thoughtful perspective and stays focused on the solutions needed to create an environment where all students can thrive and school employees can feel supported.
She lives in the Kempsville area with her husband, Rob. Their three children all attended K-12 in the Virginia Beach City Public Schools division. Jen and Rob feel that all their children thrived in the environment of VBCPS. She looks forward to the opportunity to continue to give back to her great community.
