Jackie Green

Mother. Teacher. Vietnam War-era Navy veteran. Education doctorate. Jackie Green is a regular working American, NOT a career politician, running to bring real representation to District 24.

Jackie Green has been in the rooms where policy actually gets written. On the staff of the Virginia Attorney General's office and as a legislative liaison, she helped lead the public-safety campaign that passed Virginia's mandatory seat-belt law. She built the coalition, worked with the state transportation department, and saw it through to the books. She knows how a good idea becomes real legislation: the coalitions, the negotiations, the follow-through.
