The 2022 November election changed the makeup of Brevards school board from a mix of party affiliations to almost entirely conservative save for one member: Jennifer Jenkins.
Megan Wright, one of the three members elected, was backed by Gov. Ron DeSantis. Both she and Gene Trent were also endorsed by Moms for Liberty, a national conservative parents group founded in Brevard County.
This week, DeSantis announced the creation of a target list for 2024 to remove the last remaining liberal-leaning members on school boards around the state. Jenkins was on the list.
Jenkins, who ran against and beat then-school board member Tina Descovich in the 2020 election for the District 3 school board seat, has said publicly she would serve only one term. However, DeSantis announcement has her toying with the idea of running again, she said.
I just think what an example I can show my daughter of, you know what? Forget it. You want to come at me? Ill fight you right back, she said.
