Jacqueline is an extraordinary communicator and a gifted producer, with an overwhelming passion for and expertise in quality education. Her commitment to healthy students and communities is unmatched. She is the co-chair of Make America Healthy Again New Jersey and has worked to keep Kennedy voters engaged in state politics well after the election. No matter what task is thrown at her, she delivers. She is an expert in budgeting, curricula, personnel and as a liaison between all levels of government. She is Vice President of a school board with a total budget of over $100 million and is a watchdog to ensure taxpayer money is well-spent. She is well-versed in drafting education policy and works to ensure schools teach basic skills and to block the injection of progressive ideology into the classroom. She is a first-rate organizer who has brought the grassroots together to advocate for change in a way never seen before in our state. Her conservative Board of Education Coalition includes nearly 60 boards with numerous board members. She has a farm where she grows tomatoes and other crops, has chickens that deliver numerous fresh eggs, and cares for horses. She hosts equestrian camps for dozens of children every summer as part of her Peace, Love and Horses non-profit. Jacqueline embodies the caring, earthy, healthy and compassionate heart of the MAHA movement.
Nominator's thoughts on what would make this nominee a valuable member of a future Trump Unity Government
1) Is Competent ...a hard-working, dynamic, impeccably prepared Board of Education member who skillfully works to achieve results.
2) Is Honest...completely unafraid to speak up for the vulnerable and for principles that may be unpopular, and is unshakeable in her convictions in the face of the harshest opposition.
3) Is Respectful ...Listens to anyone who disagrees with her and responds with her honest, heartfelt opinion stated without malice. She is a bridge-builder and consensus seeker dedicated to achieving great projects and big ideas.
4) Has Integrity ...Operates with transparency and in service to the public.
5) Has Courage ...Absolutely fearless when standing up for what's right no matter what the pressure. Placed under threat by some of the most powerful progressive forces in the state but has not flinched from her values and principles.
6) Has a Proven Record...Led the Board's bid to reject a harmful state educational guidance that blocked parents from knowing about challenges their children were experiencing. Her actions ushered other boards of education into following suit. Has withstood a multi-year onslaught by the state's attorney general and progressive groups, which are set to haul her, the Middletown board and several other school boards before a judge later this month. She's a winner in every sense of the word.
